More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to required provision of workers' compensation insurance coverage for employees of building and construction contractors and subcontractors’’.
The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill requires building and construction contractors and subcontractors to provide workers' compensation insurance coverage for their employees. It mandates governmental entities to ensure that contractors certify in writing that their employees, and those of any subcontractors, are covered under workers' compensation insurance for public projects. Subcontractors must supply a certificate confirming this coverage to the general contractor, who then forwards it to the governmental entity. Contractors and subcontractors may offer insurance through a group plan or another approved method, and coverage must satisfy the governmental body involved in the project. The law applies to contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2025.
