A. Any contract entered into under the Roofing Contractor

B. If an affidavit of exemption for workers' compensation
insurance is used by a legitimately exempt person, it shall be

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,

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

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.
