| (a) A labor agent must notify each person the labor
agent contracts with to provide the services of migrant and seasonal
workers whether or not the labor agent has workers' compensation insurance
coverage.
(b) The notification must be in writing and must be
given at the time the contract for the services of the migrant or
seasonal workers is made. The notification must be signed and dated
by both parties and each party must retain a copy of the notice.
(c) If the labor agent does have workers' compensation
insurance coverage, the labor agent must present evidence of the workers'
compensation insurance coverage to each person the agent contracts
with to provide the services of migrant and seasonal workers. The
evidence of coverage must be in writing and must be presented at the
time the notification of coverage is made. Each party must retain
a copy of the evidence of coverage with the copy of the notice. A
certificate of insurance is considered adequate evidence of coverage.
(d) The notice and evidence of coverage, if applicable,
must be given each time a labor agent makes a contract with a person
to provide migrant or seasonal workers. Any notice and evidence of
coverage provided for a prior contract between the parties is considered
insufficient to meet the requirements of this section.
(e) If coverage is terminated during the period of
the contract for employment, the labor agent must notify:
(1) the person with whom the agent contracted to provide
the services of migrant and seasonal workers; and
(2) the migrant and seasonal workers affected that
the workers' compensation insurance coverage has been terminated.
