22 29 FORCE.
22 30 1. 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 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 second injury task force shall complete its study
24 4 and submit its recommendations to the chairpersons and ranking
24 5 members of the standing committee on business and labor and
24 6 the standing committee on labor and industrial relations of
24 7 the general assembly by January 15, 1997.
24 8 c. The second injury task force is abolished upon
24 9 submission of its report and recommendations to the general
24 10 assembly as provided in this subsection.
24 11 3. 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. For the purposes of this section, "insurer" includes a
25 31 self-insurance group approved by the commissioner of insurance
25 32 pursuant to section 87.4.

27 29 responsibility of each licensee to obtain the consent of
27 30 appropriate racing officials in other states as required by
27 31 the federal Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978, 15 U.S.C. }
27 32 3001-3007, to televise races for the purpose of conducting

28 3 any race for the purpose of conducting pari-mutuel wagering
28 4 are subject to the approval of the commission, and the
28 5 commission shall select the races to be televised. The races
28 6 selected by the commission shall be the same for all licensees
28 7 approved by the commission to televise races for the purpose
28 8 of conducting pari-mutuel wagering. The commission shall not

28 13 done at the racetrack of a licensee that schedules no less
28 14 than sixty performances of nine live races each day of the
28 15 season. For purposes of the taxes imposed under this chapter,
28 16 races televised by a licensee for purposes of pari-mutuel

28 18 racetrack of the licensee. Notwithstanding any contrary
28 19 provision in this chapter, the commission may allow a licensee
28 20 to adopt the same deductions as those of the pari-mutuel
28 21 racetrack from which the races are being simultaneously
28 22 telecast.
28 23 Sec. 33. Section 321.19, subsection 1, unnumbered

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,

29 7 other laws relating to controlled substances, 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
