AI Summary

  • Amends Colorado law to establish a presumption that buyers of goods are not liable as statutory employers for workers' compensation when a contractor or their employee delivering goods is injured while not on the buyer's premises.

  • The presumption can be overcome if the contractor or employee was performing a job function that would normally be performed by the buyer's own employees.

  • Clarifies that the presumption does not apply to injuries occurring on the buyer's premises, leaving statutory employer liability intact for on-site injuries.

  • Defines "statutory employer" as an employer responsible for paying workers' compensation benefits under the statute.

  • Declared necessary for the immediate preservation of public peace, health, and safety.
