Bill Summary

For legislation relative to workers' compensation coverage for officers of non-profit associations. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing workers' compensation laws to allow officers of non-profit organizations or corporations, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, who are not paid, to opt out of workers' compensation coverage. This means that if these unpaid officers provide a written waiver to the director of industrial accidents, they will not be covered by workers' compensation. The director of industrial accidents will create regulations to implement this change, and non-profit corporations that violate these provisions will face penalties.
