Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Workers' compensation; civil penalties; collection costs. Increases the maximum civil penalty that may be assessed against an employer for failure to obtain workers' compensation insurance or provide evidence of compliance with the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act to $50,000. Currently, noncompliant employers are subject to a civil penalty of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000. The measure provides that, subject to the maximum, the penalty for each day of noncompliance will be no more than $250. The measure also provides that (i) civil penalties will be allocated equally between the Workers' Compensation Commission's administrative fund and the Uninsured Employer's Fund and (ii) the Commission may add the costs of collecting the civil penalty to the aggregate civil penalty, with the collected costs to be paid into the administrative fund.
