Bill Summary
For legislation relative to workers compensation insurance. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 152 of the General Laws, which pertains to workers' compensation insurance. Specifically, it introduces a provision that exempts employers who conduct business in the Commonwealth for fewer than twenty days per calendar year from the usual workers' compensation insurance requirements, as long as they can demonstrate valid workers' compensation insurance from any other U.S. state. This means that businesses with a very limited presence in the state will be considered compliant with Massachusetts' workers' compensation insurance laws if they are insured elsewhere in the United States.
