Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Insurance Code Workers' Compensation provisions. Provides that if an employer fails to provide the insurer or its authorized representative with which it has its workers' compensation insurance policy with reasonable access to payroll records for a payroll verification audit when requested by the insurer under the terms of the employer's workers' compensation insurance policy, the employer shall be liable to pay to the insurer a total premium for the policy equal to 3 times the insurer's then-current estimate of the annual premium on the expiration of the policy. Provides that the Section shall only apply if the insurer complies with the conditions set forth in the provision. Provides that the insurer shall have and follow regular and reasonable rules and procedures to notify employers of their duty to provide for access to records, and to contact employers to make appointments during regular business hours for that purpose. Provides that upon the employer's failure to provide access after the insurer's third request during at least a 90-day period, the insurer may notify the employer through its mailing of a certified, return-receipt, document of the increased premium and the total amount of the costs incurred by the insurer for its attempts to perform an audit. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
