The bill amends Alaska's workers' compensation laws by adding a new section, AS 23.30.033, which mandates that insurers provide employers with a written certificate of insurance. This certificate must include specific information such as the employer's name, the insurer's name, the number of employees, estimated payroll for each classification, the policy's expiration date, and a QR code that links to an online verification tool. The QR code is defined as a machine-readable code that can be scanned using a digital device to access online information.

Additionally, the bill establishes that the new requirements for the workers' compensation insurance certificate will apply to any insurance certificate and policy issued, delivered, or renewed after the effective date of the new section. This aims to enhance transparency and accessibility regarding employers' workers' compensation insurance coverage.
