A notice with the heading “Commercial General Liability Insurance (CGL)” and the statement that fits the contractor, or the statement “A notice concerning commercial general liability insurance is attached to this contract.”
A notice with the heading “Workers' Compensation Insurance” and the statement that fits the contractor, or a statement that a notice concerning workers' compensation insurance is attached.
In plain English
- The contract must tell the buyer about your commercial general liability insurance (for example, whether you carry it and how to reach the insurer) and your workers' compensation coverage.
- The statute gives the exact statements for each situation; pick the one that matches you.
- Either notice can be a separate attachment, as long as the contract says it is attached.
What the checklist looks for
- The two headings, or the “is attached to this contract” statements.
What it can't check
- Which statement is correct for you, or whether the attachments are included.
