Summary
The law amends Illinois’ workers’ compensation statutes to make sure any corporation, LLC or partnership that must be licensed by a state agency also shows proof of workers’ comp insurance. If they fail to do so, they face civil penalties, additional insurance‑related surcharges, and possible work‑stop orders. The changes affect insurers, employers, employee‑leasing firms and the Workers’ Compensation Commission.
