Referred to Rules Committee
Summary
The bill amends Illinois’ Workers’ Compensation Act to require corporations, LLCs and partnerships that sell, transport, or broker goods to pay workers’ comp benefits to their direct employees. It also extends that liability to the employees of any contractors they hire unless those contractors carry approved insurance. The goal is to close gaps and ensure transport workers receive proper compensation after workplace injuries.
