In a victory for IIAN members, insurance carriers, and hiring parties, LB 139, IIAN's bill to address the problem of individual independent construction contractors who do not cover themselves for workers compensation, passed its "final reading" on March 15, and was signed by Governor Ricketts. The new law will become effective around August 31, 2019.
This represents a major accomplishment for the IIAN and is due to the hard work of our Legislative Committee, our Legislative Advisory Council, our IIAN staff and to the major help of Senator Mark Kolterman and Senator John Lowe.
