(a) An insurer who issues a workers’ compensation insurance policy to a roofing contractor holding a C-39 license from the Contractors State License Board shall perform an annual payroll audit for the contractor. The insurer may impose a surcharge on each policyholder audited under this subdivision in an amount necessary to recoup the reasonable costs of conducting the annual payroll audits.
(b) The commissioner shall direct the rating organization designated as his or her statistical agent to compile pertinent statistical data on those holding C-39 licenses, as reported by the appropriate state entity, on an annual basis and provide a report to him or her each year. The data shall track the total annual payroll and loss data reported on those holding C-39 licenses in accordance with the standard workers’ compensation insurance classifications applicable to roofing operations. The report shall also be provided to the Legislature, in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code. Reports required under this section for the 2008 and 2009 calendar years shall be filed by March 1, 2012.
(c) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2013, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2013, deletes or extends that date.
