Introduced by: Martin E. Williams | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Business licenses; workers' compensation coverage required. Prohibits localities from issuing or reissuing a business license to any contractor who (i) has not obtained or is not maintaining workers' compensation coverage for his employees and (ii) at the time of application for business license issuance or reissuance, is required to obtain or maintain such coverage. The bill also requires localities to require contractors seeking business licenses to provide written certification of their (i) compliance with the provisions of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act governing the requirements of workers' compensation coverage and (ii) obligation to remain in compliance with the Act's provision during the effective period of any such licenses. False certifications are punishable as Class 3 misdemeanors. Finally, the Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission is required to conduct periodic audits of selected contractors to whom business licenses have been issued to ensure the contractors' compliance with the requirements of this law.
