Division of Administrative Hearings, Florida
Filed: Jun. 10, 2008
The issues to be resolved in this proceeding concern whether the Petitioner, in the work of his business or trade, operates within the definition of "construction industry" as that term is defined in Chapter 440, Florida Statutes (2008), and the rules of the Respondent Agency. It therefore must be determined whether the Petitioner was required to secure workers' compensation coverage or suffer the disputed penalty for failure to do so.Respondent did not prove that Petitioner`s handyman business was a "construction trade or industry" as defined in statue and rule-adopted manual. Therefore, no workers` compensation coverage is required.
