Bill > SB260

This bill requires insurance companies that provide workers' compensation insurance to employers to issue a written certificate of insurance that confirms the employer has secured payment for compensation, and this certificate must include the employer's name, the insurer's name, the number of employees, estimated payroll for each employee type, the policy's expiration date, and a QR code, which is a quick-response, machine-readable code used to access online information via a digital device, that links to an online tool for verifying coverage. Additionally, the bill mandates that the relevant state division must maintain an online verification tool on its website where anyone can check an employer's workers' compensation insurance status, and these new requirements will apply to any workers' compensation insurance certificates and policies that are issued, delivered, or renewed on or after the bill's effective date.
