This article doesn’t make sense – it starts out talking about liability insurance and then switches to Workers Comp. What is required by this bill, anyway?
Even if this becomes law, contractors who don’t have insurance will just create phony certificates, as many do now, so it won’t accomplish its purpose.
A general liability policy isn’t going to cover either one of these things. It will cover resulting damage but not for work to be done on their homes, only to be left holding the bag when the work is substandard, or the contractor takes the money and runs,”
Great comments. Can you legislate common sense in having people conduct their own due diligence? A contactor can be insured up & down but if they are not reputable or necessarily competent in the work you want completed then nothing is changed by this bill. This bill just seems to be “feelgood” legislation by govt types who don’t know the first thing about insurance and it’s interaction in the marketplace.

Insurance doesn’t cover stupidity.
