SB 813 Summary

• Repeals chapter 373L and amends chapter 373K to simplify regulation of professional employer organizations by establishing a streamlined registration system with $250 registration fee and $500 biennial renewal fee.

• Requires professional employer organizations to register with the director of labor and industrial relations and notify the department within 30 business days of entering into or terminating professional employer agreements with client companies.

• Allows the director to notify the department of taxation when a professional employer organization violates chapter 373K, resulting in loss of the general excise tax exemption under section 237-24.75.

• Permits professional employer organizations to apply as successor employers and transfer client company experience records for unemployment insurance contribution rate purposes if they contract with a client company for co-employment of assigned employees.

• Amends the definition of "leased employee" in chapter 209E (enterprise zone coverage) to align with the professional employer organization definitions in chapter 373K.
