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. 21 4 EXPLANATION 21 5 This bill relates to and appropriates moneys to various 21 6 state departments, agencies, funds, and certain other 21 7 interstate and national entities for the fiscal year beginning 21 8 July 1, 1996, and ending June 30, 1997. 21 9 The state departments and agencies include the auditor of 21 10 state, Iowa ethics and campaign disclosure board, department 21 11 of commerce, department of general services, office of 21 12 governor including the lieutenant governor and Terrace Hill 21 13 quarters, department of inspections and appeals, department of 21 14 management, department of personnel, Iowa public employees' 21 15 retirement system, department of revenue and finance, 21 16 secretary of state, and treasurer of state. 21 17 The bill also appropriates funding for the state's 21 18 membership on the commission on uniform state laws, the 21 19 national conference of state legislatures, the council of 21 20 state governments, the national governors' conference, and law 21 21 enforcement training reimbursements. 21 22 The bill transfers lottery revenues to the state general 21 23 fund instead of the CLEAN fund and authorizes the treasurer of 21 24 state to assess a surcharge on workers' compensation benefits 21 25 paid. 21 26 LSB 3220XG 76 21 27 mg/jw/5.3
