The director shall employ appropriate staff to handle and adjust claims of state employees for workers' compensation benefits pursuant to chapters 85, 85A, 85B, and 86, or with the approval of the executive council contract for the services or purchase workers' compensation insurance coverage for state employees or selected groups of state employees. A state employee workers' compensation fund is established to pay state employee workers' compensation claims.

The department shall collect the premiums and deposit them into the state employee workers' compensation fund. Notwithstanding section 8.33, moneys deposited in the state employee workers' compensation fund shall not revert to the general fund of the state at the end of any fiscal year but shall remain in the state employee workers' compensation fund and be continuously available to pay state employee workers' compensation claims. The director of revenue and finance is authorized and directed to draw warrants on this fund for the payment of state employee workers' compensation claims.
