HB 2680 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

worker's compensation; notice; fraud; commission

HB 2680 creates a public database requiring Arizona employers to disclose workers' compensation insurance details. It mandates insurers to submit policy information - including employer name, insurer, policy expiration, and employee counts - to the state commission, with each policy including a QR code linking to the database. Employers claiming "zero estimated exposure" (no employees) must sign an affidavit confirming this, and must notify contractors directly if they hold such a policy. This affects all employers with workers' comp coverage, insurers, and contractors who receive zero-exposure notifications.

MODERATE

The bill was reorganized from a detailed multi-subsection format into a concise four-subsection structure. The most significant change is the addition of a specific URL (ewccv.com/cvs/) for verifying zero-exposure policies and a new requirement for employers in construction to provide this verification statement on certificates of insurance. The effective date for the new requirements was set to July 1, 2027, and a conditional enactment clause was added, making the certificate requirement dependent on approval from a specific industry association.

Scope change

The scope of applicability was narrowed to specifically cover 'zero estimated exposure policies' and related certificates of insurance, with an effective date of July 1, 2027. A new condition was added requiring permission from the Association for Cooperative Research and Development for the certificate of insurance provision to take effect.

REQUIREMENT

Replaced the original requirement for a 'quick-response code' on declaration pages with a specific instruction to visit 'ewccv.com/cvs/' to confirm policy status.

Added a new requirement that certificates of insurance for construction-related zero-exposure policies must include a specific statement directing recipients to the verification website.

TIMELINE

Changed the effective date for the new provisions from the general act date to July 1, 2027.

ENFORCEMENT

Added a conditional enactment clause stating that the certificate of insurance requirement will not become effective unless a specific industry association grants permission to modify standardized forms.
