PROPOSED
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AMENDMENTS TO H.B. 2431
Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert:
"Section 1. Workers' compensation; firefighters; rate deviations; experience modifications; Covid-19; delayed repeal
A. Workers' compensation insurers that cover firefighters and fire investigators may charge and collect additional premiums from public employers to offset and recover Covid-19-related claims costs to the extent the public employer is able to obtain reimbursement for such additional premium charges from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. This additional premium is in addition to the rate deviations prescribed in section 20-359, Arizona Revised Statutes, and any experience modifications prescribed in section 23-963.01, Arizona Revised Statutes. A workers' compensation insurer may charge a premium only if the insurance policy includes a provision that would allow the employer to charge an additional premium.
B. This section is repealed from and after December 31, 2024."
