Title of bill
An act to amend the workers' compensation law, in relation to the removal from debarment list
Purpose
To remove persons and entities that are on the workers compensation debarment list that are now current in their workers compensation insurance, to the satisfaction of the Workers Compensation Board.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Section 141-b of the Worker's Compensation Law, as added by chapter 6 of the laws of 2007, is amended by providing that any person who maintains his or her current workers' compensation insurance may, subject to the board's approval, be removed from the debarment list.
Section 2 : This act shall take effect immediately
Justification
No person or entity should be debarred from municipal agreements due to the fact that they were at one time late with their workers compensation insurance payments but have since become current and the Workers Compensation Board is satisfied they are not abusing the system.
