18 4 the treasurer of state may assess a surcharge on
18 5 workers' compensation weekly benefits paid in the
18 6 state during the immediately preceding fiscal year.
18 7 The surcharge is payable by all self-insured employers
18 8 making weekly benefit payments and all insurers making
18 9 weekly benefit payments on behalf of insured
18 10 employers. The surcharge applies to all workers'
18 11 compensation insurance policies and self-insurance
18 12 coverages of employers approved for self-insurance by
18 13 the commissioner of insurance pursuant to section 87.4
18 14 or 87.11, and to the state of Iowa, its departments,
18 15 divisions, agencies, commissions, and boards, or any
18 16 political subdivision coverages whether insured or
18 17 self-insured. The surcharge shall not apply to any
18 18 reinsurance or retrocessional transaction under
18 19 section 520.4 or 520.9. The treasurer of state shall
18 20 base the surcharge for each payor upon the payor's pro
18 21 rata share of weekly benefits paid in the state during
18 22 the immediately preceding fiscal year. The treasurer
18 23 may use reports of weekly benefits paid derived from
18 24 the last completed policy or reporting year, or other
18 25 consistent allocation methodology. The surcharge is
18 26 collectable by an insurer or from its policyholders if
18 27 the insured employer fails to pay the insurer. An
18 28 insurance carrier, its agent, or a third-party
18 29 administrator shall not be entitled to any portion of
18 30 the surcharge as a fee or commission for its
18 31 collection. The surcharge is not subject to any
18 32 taxes, licenses, or fees. The surcharge is not deemed
18 33 to be an assessment or tax, but shall be deemed an
18 34 additional benefit paid for injuries compensable under
18 35 the second injury fund. However, the treasurer of
18 36 state shall not collect over $870,000 in assessing the
18 37 surcharge.
18 38 2. The surcharges collected pursuant to this
18 39 section shall be deposited in the second injury fund,
18 40 and may be used for the payment of claims,
18 41 settlements, expenses for claim adjustments, and
18 42 administrative costs. The expenses incurred by the
18 43 treasurer of state, the attorney general, the second
18 44 injury fund, the task force, or the department of
18 45 revenue and finance, in connection with the second
18 46 injury fund, may be paid from the fund. However, the
18 47 payment of administrative costs and expenses incurred
18 48 by the treasurer of state, the attorney general, the
18 49 second injury fund, the task force, and the department
18 50 of revenue and finance, as authorized in this
19 1 subsection, shall only be permitted for administrative
19 2 costs and expenses incurred in the fiscal year
19 3 commencing July 1, 1996, and shall not exceed
19 4 $170,000.
19 5 3. An insurer or self-insurer shall pay a
19 6 surcharge imposed by this section no later than thirty
19 7 days following the assessment.
19 8 4. a. If an insurer, policyholder, or self-
19 9 insurer withdraws from doing business in this state
19 10 before the surcharges authorized by this section
19 11 become due, or fails or neglects to pay the surcharge
19 12 imposed, the treasurer of state shall at once proceed
19 13 to collect the surcharge, and may employ such legal
19 14 process as may be necessary for that purpose, and when
19 15 so collected shall deposit the surcharge into the
19 16 second injury fund. The treasurer may bring the suit
19 17 in any court of this state having jurisdiction, and
19 18 reasonable attorney's fees may be taxed as costs in
19 19 the suit.
19 20 b. If the surcharges imposed by this section are
19 21 not paid or transferred when due, the insurer,
19 22 policyholder, or self-insurer responsible for the
19 23 failure shall be required to pay, as part of the
19 24 surcharge, interest on the surcharge at the rate of
19 25 one and one-half percent per month for each month or
19 26 fraction of a month delinquent. If the treasurer of
19 27 state prevails in any dispute concerning the
19 28 assessment of a surcharge which has not been paid or
19 29 transferred, interest shall be paid upon the amount
19 30 found due to the state at the rate of one and one-half
19 31 percent per month for each month or fraction of a
19 32 month delinquent.
19 33 c. An insurer is not liable for a surcharge which
19 34 is not paid to the insurer by the policyholder or
19 35 employer provided the insurer has made good faith
19 36 efforts to collect the surcharge from the policyholder
19 37 or employer. An insurance carrier shall report to the
19 38 treasurer of state a policyholder or employer who
19 39 fails to pay a surcharge within thirty days of its due
19 40 date.
19 41 d. In any action concerning the amount of a
19 42 surcharge imposed by this section, any other surcharge
19 43 shall continue to be made based upon the amount
19 44 assessed by the treasurer of state. In the event of
19 45 an overpayment, the excess amount paid may be credited
19 46 against future payments otherwise due.
19 47 e. An employer who fails to pay the surcharges
19 48 imposed under this section shall not be allowed to
19 49 purchase workers' compensation insurance coverage or

21 39 conduct horse or dog races in this state to televise
21 40 races conducted by that person for the purpose of
21 41 conducting pari-mutuel racing. However, arrangements
21 42 made by a licensee to televise any race for the
21 43 purpose of conducting pari-mutuel wagering are subject
21 44 to the approval of the commission, and the commission
21 45 shall select the races to be televised. The races
21 46 selected by the commission shall be the same for all
21 47 licensees approved by the commission to televise races

22 3 wagering unless the simultaneous telecast or
22 4 televising is done at the racetrack of a licensee that
22 5 schedules no less than sixty performances of nine live
22 6 races each day of the season. For purposes of the
22 7 taxes imposed under this chapter, races televised by a
22 8 licensee for purposes of pari-mutuel wagering shall be
22 9 treated as if the races were held at the racetrack of
22 10 the licensee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision
22 11 in this chapter, the commission may allow a licensee

22 13 mutuel racetrack from which the races are being

22 24 patrol vehicles, except unmarked patrol vehicles,
22 25 shall bear two red stars on a yellow background, one
22 26 before and one following the registration number on
22 27 the plate, which registration number shall be the

22 29 for a county sheriff's patrol vehicles shall display
22 30 one seven-pointed gold star followed by the letter "S"
22 31 and the call number of the vehicle. However, the
22 32 director of general services or the director of
22 33 transportation may order the issuance of regular
22 34 registration plates for any exempted vehicle used by
22 35 peace officers in the enforcement of the law, persons
22 36 enforcing chapter 124 and other laws relating to
22 37 controlled substances, persons in the department of
22 38 justice, the alcoholic beverages division of the
22 39 department of commerce, and the department of
22 40 inspections and appeals who are regularly assigned to
22 41 conduct investigations which cannot reasonably be
22 42 conducted with a vehicle displaying "official" state
22 43 registration plates, and persons in the lottery
22 44 division of the department of revenue and finance
22 45 whose regularly assigned duties relating to security
22 46 or the carrying of lottery tickets cannot reasonably
22 47 be conducted with a vehicle displaying "official"
22 48 registration plates. For purposes of sale of exempted
22 49 vehicles, the exempted governmental body, upon the
22 50 sale of the exempted vehicle, may issue for in-transit
23 1 purposes a pasteboard card bearing the words "Vehicle
23 2 in Transit", the name of the official body from which
23 3 the vehicle was purchased, together with the date of
23 4 the purchase plainly marked in at least one-inch
23 5 letters, and other information required by the
23 6 department. The in-transit card is valid for use only
23 7 within forty-eight hours after the purchase date as
23 8 indicated on the bill of sale which shall be carried
23 9 by the driver.".
