Department of Labor and Regulation



Division of Insurance Workers' Compensation Rules


The reason these rules are being proposed is to implement HB 1105, passed during the 2015 legislative session, which allows an independent contractor to sign an affidavit of exempt status. The affidavit will help clarify that a general contractor is not required to carry workers' compensation insurance for independent contractors.

New content is added below as the draft rules move through the rule-making process.
