18 1 Sec. 29. SURCHARGE FOR THE 1996-1997 FISCAL YEAR.
18 2 1. For the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1996, the
18 3 treasurer of state may assess a surcharge on workers'
18 4 compensation weekly benefits paid in the state during the
18 5 immediately preceding fiscal year. The surcharge is payable
18 6 by all self-insured employers making weekly benefit payments
18 7 and all insurers making weekly benefit payments on behalf of
18 8 insured employers. The surcharge applies to all workers'
18 9 compensation insurance policies and self-insurance coverages
18 10 of employers approved for self-insurance by the commissioner
18 11 of insurance pursuant to section 87.4 or 87.11, and to the
18 12 state of Iowa, its departments, divisions, agencies,
18 13 commissions, and boards, or any political subdivision
18 14 coverages whether insured or self-insured. The surcharge
18 15 shall not apply to any reinsurance or retrocessional
18 16 transaction under section 520.4 or 520.9. The treasurer of
18 17 state shall base the surcharge for each payor upon the payor's
18 18 pro rata share of weekly benefits paid in the state during the
18 19 immediately preceding fiscal year. The treasurer may use
18 20 reports of weekly benefits paid derived from the last
18 21 completed policy or reporting year, or other consistent
18 22 allocation methodology. The surcharge is collectable by an
18 23 insurer or from its policyholders if the insured employer
18 24 fails to pay the insurer. An insurance carrier, its agent, or
18 25 a third-party administrator shall not be entitled to any
18 26 portion of the surcharge as a fee or commission for its
18 27 collection. The surcharge is not subject to any taxes,
18 28 licenses, or fees. The surcharge is not deemed to be an
18 29 assessment or tax, but shall be deemed an additional benefit
18 30 paid for injuries compensable under the second injury fund.
18 31 However, the treasurer of state shall not collect over
18 32 $870,000 in assessing the surcharge.
18 33 2. The surcharges collected pursuant to this section shall
18 34 be deposited in the second injury fund, and may be used for
18 35 the payment of claims, settlements, expenses for claim
19 1 adjustments, and administrative costs. The expenses incurred
19 2 by the treasurer of state, the attorney general, the second
19 3 injury fund, the task force, or the department of revenue and
19 4 finance, in connection with the second injury fund, may be
19 5 paid from the fund. However, the payment of administrative
19 6 costs and expenses incurred by the treasurer of state, the
19 7 attorney general, the second injury fund, the task force, and
19 8 the department of revenue and finance, as authorized in this
19 9 subsection, shall only be permitted for administrative costs
19 10 and expenses incurred in the fiscal year commencing July 1,
19 11 1996, and shall not exceed $170,000.
19 12 3. An insurer or self-insurer shall pay a surcharge
19 13 imposed by this section no later than thirty days following
19 14 the assessment.
19 15 4. a. If an insurer, policyholder, or self-insurer
19 16 withdraws from doing business in this state before the
19 17 surcharges authorized by this section become due, or fails or
19 18 neglects to pay the surcharge imposed, the treasurer of state
19 19 shall at once proceed to collect the surcharge, and may employ
19 20 such legal process as may be necessary for that purpose, and
19 21 when so collected shall deposit the surcharge into the second
19 22 injury fund. The treasurer may bring the suit in any court of
19 23 this state having jurisdiction, and reasonable attorney's fees
19 24 may be taxed as costs in the suit.
19 25 b. If the surcharges imposed by this section are not paid
19 26 or transferred when due, the insurer, policyholder, or self-
19 27 insurer responsible for the failure shall be required to pay,
19 28 as part of the surcharge, interest on the surcharge at the
19 29 rate of one and one-half percent per month for each month or
19 30 fraction of a month delinquent. If the treasurer of state
19 31 prevails in any dispute concerning the assessment of a
19 32 surcharge which has not been paid or transferred, interest
19 33 shall be paid upon the amount found due to the state at the
19 34 rate of one and one-half percent per month for each month or
19 35 fraction of a month delinquent.
20 1 c. An insurer is not liable for a surcharge which is not
20 2 paid to the insurer by the policyholder or employer provided
20 3 the insurer has made good faith efforts to collect the
20 4 surcharge from the policyholder or employer. An insurance
20 5 carrier shall report to the treasurer of state a policyholder
20 6 or employer who fails to pay a surcharge within thirty days of
20 7 its due date.
20 8 d. In any action concerning the amount of a surcharge
20 9 imposed by this section, any other surcharge shall continue to
20 10 be made based upon the amount assessed by the treasurer of
20 11 state. In the event of an overpayment, the excess amount paid
20 12 may be credited against future payments otherwise due.
20 13 e. An employer who fails to pay the surcharges imposed
20 14 under this section shall not be allowed to purchase workers'
20 15 compensation insurance coverage or to renew a self-insurance
20 16 authorization unless and until the surcharge has been paid.
20 17 5. For the purposes of this section, "insurer" includes a
20 18 self-insurance group approved by the commissioner of insurance
20 19 pursuant to section 87.4.
20 20 Sec. 30. LOTTERY TRANSFER. Notwithstanding the
20 21 requirement in section 99E.10, subsection 1, to transfer
20 22 lottery revenue remaining after expenses are deducted,
20 23 notwithstanding the requirement under section 99E.20,
20 24 subsection 2, for the commissioner to certify and transfer a
20 25 portion of the lottery fund to the CLEAN fund, and
20 26 notwithstanding the appropriations and allocations in section
20 27 99E.34, all lottery revenues received during the fiscal year
20 28 beginning July 1, 1996, and ending June 30, 1997, after
20 29 deductions as provided in section 99E.10, subsection 1, and as
20 30 appropriated under any Act of the Seventy-sixth General
20 31 Assembly, 1996 Session, shall not be transferred to and
20 32 deposited into the CLEAN fund but shall be transferred and
20 33 credited to the general fund of the state.
20 34 Sec. 31. FEDERAL GRANTS. All federal grants to and the
20 35 federal receipts of agencies appropriated funds under this
21 1 Act, not otherwise appropriated, are appropriated for the
21 2 purposes set forth in the federal grants or receipts unless
21 3 otherwise provided by the general assembly.
