The Industrial Commission of Arizona was created in 1925 as a result of the workers compensation system established by a constitutional provision. The ICA serves as the regulatory agency for all workers' compensation issues, including claims processing for workers who are injured or killed on the job. HB 2694 makes changes to the statutes by clarifying provisions, striking unnecessary language, and making technical and conforming changes.
Provisions Eliminates the provision relating to the late filing notice.
Clarifies that no insurance or combination of such may be marketed, offered or sold as workers' compensation if it does not comply with law. An employer who purchases such to secure the obligation to provide coverage for workers is in violation of law. Strikes the provision requiring the employer to file a certificate stating the new insurance company prior to the cancellation or renewal of the existing policy.
