HB2204 is a bill that amends sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to workers' compensation. The bill allows insurance carriers to offer a premium reduction of up to five percent to employers who are part of a qualifying membership organization. To qualify, the membership organization must consist of members in a similar line of commerce, aim to promote and improve business conditions in that line, and not be engaged in for-profit activities where earnings benefit individual members. The insurance carrier must also have a program agreement with the membership organization of which the employer is a member.

The bill includes technical and conforming changes to the current law, such as updating section references and correcting language for consistency. It also specifies that the premium reduction is in addition to any other premium reductions allowed under current law, such as those for employers who comply with statutory drug testing policy requirements. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
