(b)The relationship of a workfare participant to the State of Arkansas or to any of its political subdivisions shall not be deemed to be an employer-employee relationship.
(c)Workfare participants shall not be considered public employees covered by the state workers' compensation funds and therefore are excluded from workers' compensation coverage under this subchapter.
