Summary

The bill adds a surcharge on insurers that provide workers' compensation coverage, calculated as a percent of their premiums and adjusted by their underwriting gains to fund the Workers' Compensation Commission. It also creates civil penalties for corporations, LLCs, or partnerships that need a state license but cannot show they have workers' comp insurance, unless they prove they were not operating. The aim is to secure funding for the commission and enforce licensing rules.
