TX| The Texas Department of Insurance issued an official order approving amendments to the NCCI Basic Manual for Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance for Texas. Order No. 2025-9216 addresses Item 01-TX-2024, which proposes revisions to classifications and the Table of Classifications by Hazard Group.
Key points:
- The amendments replace several Texas-specific classifications and phraseologies with multistate ones, aiming to streamline the classification approach and improve uniformity across states.
- The changes will apply to new and renewal policies effective on or after July 1, 2025, with some classifications being implemented over multiple years to limit the annual impact on employers.
- The order also revises a rule for non-F-classification operations subject to the United States Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, removing duplicative language to avoid confusion.
