Relating to required provision of workers' compensation insurance coverage for employees of building and construction contractors and subcontractors.
SB 338 requires construction contractors and subcontractors working on public projects to provide workers' compensation insurance for their employees. It mandates that government agencies overseeing public projects must obtain written certification from contractors and subcontractors confirming this coverage is in place. The law applies only to new construction contracts entered into on or after September 1, 2025, and does not affect existing agreements. Coverage must meet the standards set by the government agency managing the project.
