Bill > HB0168

This bill prohibits the request of "experience ratings," which are calculations used by the division (likely the state's labor or workers' compensation division) to set worker's compensation premiums based on an employer's past claims history, for purposes of determining an employer's safety record or for obtaining the safety record of contractors and suppliers on construction projects in the state, except for litigation and the division's own operations. It also amends provisions related to how injuries are charged to an employer's account for these experience ratings, establishing stricter timelines for the division to make determinations on whether an injury should be charged to an employer's account, particularly if a third party was primarily responsible for the injury, and allows for redeterminations under specific circumstances, with these determinations being used solely for ratemaking and not admissible in civil litigation. The bill also clarifies that these changes do not affect existing contracts involving experience ratings entered into before July 1, 2026, and the act itself becomes effective on that date.
