| PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF OREGON ADMINISTRATIVE RULES RELATING TO ELIMINATION OF USE OF GUARANTY CONTRACTS AS PROOF OF COVERAGE WITH WORKERS' COMPENSATION DIVISION |
OAR 836-043-0001 to OAR 836-043-0091 govern the operation of the Oregon Workers' Compensation Insurance Plan (WCIP). The WCIP provides workers' compensation coverage for employers who are in good faith entitled to insurance but who are unable to procure coverage in a regular manner. Enrolled Senate Bill 559 (2007 Session) eliminated insurer filing of a guaranty contract as proof of employer coverage with the Workers' Compensation Division effective July 1, 2009. OAR 836-043-0046 and 836-043-0056 include references to the guaranty contract. The Insurance Division must amend the rules to comply with the 2007 legislative changes to the Oregon Workers' Compensation laws.
The Insurance Division proposes to amend OAR 836-043-0046 and 836-043-0056 in response to SB 559. The proposed amendments eliminate references to a guaranty contract and termination of a guaranty contract. Failure to adopt the changes will result in the failure of ORS 836-043-0001 to ORS 836-043-0091 governing WCIP to conform to the changes made by SB 559 in 2007. |
