§ 689. Employer compelled to insure

If an employer who secures the payment of compensation under the provisions of subdivision 687(3) of this chapter neglects or refuses to comply with the reasonable rules of the Commissioner or neglects and refuses to promptly adjust and pay all compensation and medical bills as required by law, the Commissioner may cite the employer. If on hearing it is found that such neglect or refusal is willful, the Commissioner may revoke the permission granted to the employer to secure the payment of compensation under that subdivision and compel the employer to take out insurance in an insurance company authorized to transact workers’ compensation insurance in the State in addition to penalties assessed under section 688 of this chapter. (Amended 1993, No. 225 (Adj. Sess.), § 16; 2023, No. 85 (Adj. Sess.), § 146, eff. July 1, 2024.)
