IL HB3075

Borrowing employers that have entered into an agreement with a loaning employer lose the exclusive remedy protection under the Workers' Compensation Act in lawsuits for common law or statutory damages.

Any agreement between a loaning employer and borrowing employer for reimbursement of fees, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees from Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission hearings is prohibited, against public policy, and wholly void.

Loaning employers remain liable for workers' compensation benefits if a borrowing employer fails to provide or pay benefits to a loaned employee injured during employment with the borrowing employer.

Loaning and borrowing employers maintain joint and several liability for injured loaned employees, but the specified reimbursement provisions are eliminated by this amendment.
