Bill > H468

This bill, concerning workers' compensation insurance, proposes to amend Section 25C of Chapter 152 of the General Laws by increasing the penalties for certain violations. Specifically, it changes the existing penalty of a fine up to $1,500 or imprisonment up to one year, or both, to a more severe range of punishments including imprisonment in state prison for up to 5 years, or jail time of at least 6 months and up to 2.5 years, or a fine between $1,000 and $10,000, or a combination of both a fine and imprisonment. This amendment aims to strengthen the enforcement of workers' compensation insurance laws by imposing more significant consequences for non-compliance.
