It is the intent of the legislature to clearly state that when a subcontractor does not have any employees, the contractor who employs that subcontractor is not required to purchase workers' compensation insurance for that subcontractor. This legislature believes that the current language in the statute is clear and explicitly refers to "employees of the subcontractor." This legislature believes that this reading of the current language should be used to resolve any current disputes between 2000-04-13 House Journal Page 3109 HB 419 members of the insurance industry and contractors in the state over workers' compensation coverage for subcontractors who do not have any employees. This legislature believes that Amendment No. 1 clarifies that the contractor of a subcontractor who has no employees is not responsible for providing workers' compensation for that subcontractor.
