How do I apply for an initial workers’ compensation exemption?
The Secretary of State's office will no longer be accepting Worker's Compensation filings.

The General Assembly recently passed a bill I am interested in, where can I find this?
After bills are passed by the General Assembly, they are signed by both Speakers and the Governor. Our office is tasked with chaptering and posting these online.
Once a bill is received by our office, it may take a day or so to get it posted online. Acts and resolutions from the most recent General Assembly, as well as previous sessions, can be found here.
You can view the status of a bill by visiting the General Assembly’s website here.
