Overview

Exempts certain rural fire districts from being subject to workers compensation requirements.

History

Article XVIII, section 8 of the Arizona Constitution requires the Legislature enact a workmen's compensation law applicable to workmen engaged in manual or mechanical labor in all public employment and in such private employments as the legislature may prescribe by which compensation shall be required to be paid to any such workman.

Title 23, chapter 6 of the Arizona Revised Statutes prescribes the scope of worker's compensation, its administration, required procedures, a worker's right to compensation, and entities subject to compliance with the regulations of worker's compensation. Current law lists employers subject to compliance and exempts domestic servants (A.R.S. § 23-902).
