Modifies provisions relating to workers' compensation

Summary

The measure says a construction firm that builds, tears down, alters or repairs a project is only treated as an employer under workers’ compensation law if it has five or more employees, instead of the current one‑or‑more rule. It also replaces the automatic misdemeanor for failing to carry workers’ comp insurance with a written warning for the first offense and a misdemeanor for any later offenses, while removing a provision that could raise repeat violations to a felony. The bill updates related fraud provisions and repeals two old sections of the statutes.
