This bill amends Section 72-319 of the Idaho Code to include members of limited liability companies (LLCs) in the penalties for failing to secure worker's compensation. Specifically, it establishes that any officer, employee, or member of an LLC who has the authority to secure compensation and fails to do so will be guilty of a misdemeanor. Additionally, these individuals will be personally liable for any compensation that accrues due to injuries or occupational diseases suffered by employees during the period of non-compliance. The bill also clarifies that penalties for non-compliance can be assessed against these individuals, similar to those imposed on corporations.

Furthermore, the bill makes technical corrections, including changing the term "cancelled" to "canceled" throughout the text. It outlines the penalties for employers who fail to secure compensation, which can range from $2.00 to $25.00 per employee per day, and specifies that penalties can be increased for repeat offenders. The bill declares an emergency, stating that it will take effect on July 1, 2025.
