Texas has implemented measures that require Professional Employer Organizations to provide workers' compensation loss runs for their PEO clients when requested. Several PEOs in Texas have joined forces with independent insurance agents to promote the new rules. - While most PEOs would ultimately provide the information, some would not. HB 625 "simply corrects that situation and makes it clear that if you are outside or inside a PEO, if you’re an employer, you have access to that loss information," VanDelinder said. He added that PEO professional organizations were in favor of standardizing the requirements and were instrumental in drafting some of the language in the bill.
