For the fiscal period commencing on the effective date 22 31 of this section and ending June 30, 1997, the treasurer of 22 32 state may assess a surcharge on workers' compensation weekly 22 33 benefits paid in the state during the fiscal year commencing 22 34 July 1, 1994. The surcharge is payable by all self-insured 22 35 employers making weekly benefit payments and all insurers 23 1 making weekly benefit payments on behalf of insured employers. 23 2 The surcharge applies to all workers' compensation insurance 23 3 policies and self-insurance coverages of employers approved 23 4 for self-insurance by the commissioner of insurance pursuant 23 5 to section 87.4 or 87.11, and to the state of Iowa, its 23 6 departments, divisions, agencies, commissions, and boards, or 23 7 any political subdivision coverages whether insured or self- 23 8 insured. The surcharge shall not apply to any reinsurance or 23 9 retrocessional transaction under section 520.4 or 520.9. The 23 10 treasurer of state shall base the surcharge for each payor 23 11 upon the payor's pro rata share of weekly benefits paid in the 23 12 state during the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1994. The 23 13 treasurer may use reports of weekly benefits paid derived from 23 14 the last completed policy or reporting year, or other 23 15 consistent allocation methodology. The surcharge is 23 16 collectable by an insurer or from its policyholders if the 23 17 insured employer fails to pay the insurer. An insurance 23 18 carrier, its agent, or a third-party administrator shall not 23 19 be entitled to any portion of the surcharge as a fee or 23 20 commission for its collection. The surcharge is not subject 23 21 to any taxes, licenses, or fees. The surcharge is not deemed 23 22 to be an assessment or tax, but shall be deemed an additional 23 23 benefit paid for injuries compensable under the second injury 23 24 fund. However, the treasurer of state shall not collect over 23 25 $870,000 in assessing the surcharge. 23 26 2. a. A second injury task force is created. The task 23 27 force shall consist of representatives of business and labor 23 28 appointed by the industrial commissioner who shall serve as 23 29 chairperson of the task force. The task force shall study 23 30 issues relating to the second injury fund including, but not 23 31 limited to, the following: 23 32 (1) The role and purpose of the second injury fund within 23 33 the workers compensation system. 23 34 (2) The source of funding for administrative expenses. 23 35 (3) The need for continuation of the second injury fund. 24 1 (4) The continuation of the surcharge imposed by this 24 2 section. 24 3 b.

The surcharges collected pursuant to this section shall 24 12 be deposited in the second injury fund. 24 13 4. The administrative costs and expenses incurred by the 24 14 treasurer of state, the attorney general, the second injury 24 15 fund, or the department of revenue and finance, in connection 24 16 with the second injury fund, may be paid from the fund to the 24 17 extent authorized by 1995 Iowa Acts, chapter 219, section 25, 24 18 and this section. However, the payment of administrative 24 19 costs and expenses incurred by the treasurer of state, the 24 20 attorney general, the second injury fund, and the department 24 21 of revenue and finance, as authorized in this subsection, 24 22 shall only be permitted for administrative costs and expenses 24 23 incurred in the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1996, and 24 24 ending June 30, 1997, and shall not exceed $170,000. 24 25 5. An insurer or self-insurer shall pay a surcharge 24 26 imposed by this section no later than thirty days following 24 27 the assessment. 24 28 6. a. If an insurer, policyholder, or self-insurer 24 29 withdraws from doing business in this state before the 24 30 surcharges authorized by this section become due, or fails or 24 31 neglects to pay the surcharge imposed, the treasurer of state 24 32 shall at once proceed to collect the surcharge, and may employ 24 33 such legal process as may be necessary for that purpose, and 24 34 when so collected shall deposit the surcharge into the second 24 35 injury fund. The treasurer may bring the suit in any court of 25 1 this state having jurisdiction, and reasonable attorney's fees 25 2 may be taxed as costs in the suit. 25 3 b. If the surcharges imposed by this section are not paid 25 4 or transferred when due, the insurer, policyholder, or self- 25 5 insurer responsible for the failure shall be required to pay, 25 6 as part of the surcharge, interest on the surcharge at the 25 7 rate of one and one-half percent per month for each month or 25 8 fraction of a month delinquent. If the treasurer of state 25 9 prevails in any dispute concerning the assessment of a 25 10 surcharge which has not been paid or transferred, interest 25 11 shall be paid upon the amount found due to the state at the 25 12 rate of one and one-half percent per month for each month or 25 13 fraction of a month delinquent. 25 14 c. An insurer is not liable for a surcharge which is not 25 15 paid to the insurer by the policyholder or employer provided 25 16 the insurer has made good faith efforts to collect the 25 17 surcharge from the policyholder or employer. An insurance 25 18 carrier shall report to the treasurer of state a policyholder 25 19 or employer who fails to pay a surcharge within thirty days of 25 20 its due date. 25 21 d. In any action concerning the amount of a surcharge 25 22 imposed by this section, any other surcharge shall continue to 25 23 be made based upon the amount assessed by the treasurer of 25 24 state. In the event of an overpayment, the excess amount paid 25 25 may be credited against future payments otherwise due. 25 26 e. An employer who fails to pay the surcharges imposed 25 27 under this section shall not be allowed to purchase workers' 25 28 compensation insurance coverage or to renew a self-insurance 25 29 authorization unless and until the surcharge has been paid. 25 30 7.

Section 321.19, subsection 1, unnumbered 28 24 paragraph 2, Code Supplement 1995, is amended to read as 28 25 follows: 28 26 The department shall furnish, on application, free of 28 27 charge, distinguishing plates for vehicles thus exempted, 28 28 which plates except plates on Iowa highway safety patrol 28 29 vehicles shall bear the word "official" and the department 28 30 shall keep a separate record. Registration plates issued for 28 31 Iowa highway safety patrol vehicles, except unmarked patrol 28 32 vehicles, shall bear two red stars on a yellow background, one 28 33 before and one following the registration number on the plate, 28 34 which registration number shall be the officer's badge number. 28 35 Registration plates issued for a county sheriff's patrol 29 1 vehicles shall display one seven-pointed gold star followed by 29 2 the letter "S" and the call number of the vehicle. However, 29 3 the director of general services or the director of 29 4 transportation may order the issuance of regular registration 29 5 plates for any exempted vehicle used by peace officers in the 29 6 enforcement of the law, persons enforcing chapter 124 and 29 7 other laws relating to controlled substances, persons in the 29 8 department of justice, the alcoholic beverages division of the 29 9 department of commerce, and the department of inspections and 29 10 appeals who are regularly assigned to conduct investigations 29 11 which cannot reasonably be conducted with a vehicle displaying 29 12 "official" state registration plates, and persons in the 29 13 lottery division of the department of revenue and finance 29 14 whose regularly assigned duties relating to security or the 29 15 carrying of lottery tickets cannot reasonably be conducted 29 16 with a vehicle displaying "official" registration plates. For 29 17 purposes of sale of exempted vehicles, the exempted 29 18 governmental body, upon the sale of the exempted vehicle, may 29 19 issue for in-transit purposes a pasteboard card bearing the 29 20 words "Vehicle in Transit", the name of the official body from 29 21 which the vehicle was purchased, together with the date of the 29 22 purchase plainly marked in at least one-inch letters, and 29 23 other information required by the department. The in-transit 29 24 card is valid for use only within forty-eight hours after the 29 25 purchase date as indicated on the bill of sale which shall be 29 26 carried by the driver. 29 27 Sec. 34. EFFECTIVE DATE. Section 25 of this Act, relating 29 28 to the second injury fund, being deemed of immediate 29 29 importance, takes effect upon enactment. 29 30 HF 2416 29 31 tj/pk/25
