A. Any contract entered into under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act shall include a statement that all individuals performing work under the contract are covered by workers' compensation insurance.
B. If an affidavit of exemption for workers' compensation insurance is used by a legitimately exempt person, it shall be attached to the contract and it shall be used only for residential construction projects. All commercial projects shall require all individuals performing work on such project to be covered by workers' compensation insurance as employees of the person registered under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act. However, any day laborer who can show proof of being covered by workers' compensation insurance under the temporary labor agency for whom he or she is hired-out may provide an affidavit from the temporary labor agency to meet the requirement of this section for authority to use an affidavit of exemption. No roofing contractor required to be registered under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act shall hire any out-of-state company or person or use any person or independent contractor that is not registered under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act with the required workers' compensation insurance or who is not deemed his or her employee for purposes of workers' compensation insurance.
C. In no event shall a homeowner be held liable in the workers' compensation administrative system for injury or death to any person who performs work under a contract with a person required by law to be registered under the Roofing Contractor Registration Act and have workers' compensation insurance on all persons performing work on the roofing project.
