SB 93 CO
Workers' Compensation Insurance Coverage Verification
A state bill is a proposed law in a state legislature — separate from the U.S. Congress. Learn more →
Summary
This bill requires applicants for large construction permits in Colorado to verify workers' compensation insurance coverage. For building or construction permits on projects exceeding $1 million in total cost, applicants must file a signed declaration under penalty of perjury before beginning work, confirming that all workers on the project maintain valid workers' compensation insurance. The workers' compensation coverage must be maintained throughout the duration of the permit. The bill also allows individuals to file complaints with the Division of Workers' Compensation if workers on a project fail to maintain required insurance coverage. These requirements help ensure compliance with Colorado's workers' compensation laws on major construction projects.
