SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Workers’ compensation; professional employer organizations. Requires any entity desiring to engage in the business of providing professional employer services to register with the Workers’ Compensation Commission before it undertakes to provide such services. A professional employer organization may obtain workers’ compensation insurance in its own name for all co-employees that it shares or that are allocated to it pursuant to the agreement between the professional employer organization and the client company. If the professional employer arrangement obtains workers' compensation insurance covering its co-employees, its policy shall cover all employees at the workforce of the client company, other than those covered by the client company's policy. The bill also (i) authorizes insurers to audit any professional employer arrangement to ensure that the appropriate premium is charged for workers' compensation insurance coverage and (ii) provides that a professional employer arrangement shall not be deemed to be engaged in the occupation, trade or profession of its client company solely as the result of providing services to that company.
