Agencies that hire contractors for public improvement projects can now require contract language that lets them verify the contractor has workers' compensation insurance before work starts and monitor that coverage throughout the project. Agencies can request documentation of insurance payments, lists of subcontractors, payroll records, and other information needed to prevent workers' compensation fraud. This creates a new legal requirement for what must be included in public improvement contracts.
