this section and ending June 30, 1997, the treasurer of state
may assess a surcharge on workers' compensation weekly benefits
paid in the state during the fiscal year commencing July 1,
1994. The surcharge is payable by all self-insured employers
making weekly benefit payments and all insurers making weekly
benefit payments on behalf of insured employers. The surcharge
applies to all workers' compensation insurance policies and
self-insurance coverages of employers approved for
self-insurance by the commissioner of insurance pursuant to
section 87.4 or 87.11, and to the state of Iowa, its
departments, divisions, agencies, commissions, and boards, or
any political subdivision coverages whether insured or
selfinsured. The surcharge shall not apply to any reinsurance
or retrocessional transaction under section 520.4 or 520.9. The
treasurer of state shall base the surcharge for each payor upon
the payor's pro rata share of weekly benefits paid in the state
during the fiscal year commencing July 1, 1994. The treasurer
may use reports of weekly benefits paid derived from the last
completed policy or reporting year, or other consistent
allocation methodology. The surcharge is collectable by an
insurer or from its policyholders if the insured employer fails
to pay the insurer. An insurance carrier, its agent, or a
third-party administrator shall not be entitled to any portion
of the surcharge as a fee or commission for its collection. The
surcharge is not subject to any taxes, licenses, or fees. The
surcharge is not deemed to be an assessment or tax, but shall be
deemed an additional benefit paid for injuries compensable under
the second injury fund. However, the treasurer of state shall
not collect over $870,000 in assessing the surcharge.
2. a. A second injury task force is created. The task force
shall consist of representatives of business and labor appointed
by the industrial commissioner who shall serve as chairperson of
the task force. The task force shall study issues relating to
the second injury fund including, but not limited to, the
following:
(1) The role and purpose of the second injury fund within the
workers compensation system.
(2) The source of funding for administrative expenses.
(3) The need for continuation of the second injury fund.
(4) The continuation of the surcharge imposed by this section.
b. The second injury task force shall complete its study and
submit its recommendations to the chairpersons and ranking
members of the standing committee on business and labor and the
standing committee on labor and industrial relations of the
general assembly by January 15, 1997.
c. The second injury task force is abolished upon submission of
its report and recommendations to the general assembly as
provided in this subsection.
3. The surcharges collected pursuant to this section shall be
deposited in the second injury fund.
4. The administrative costs and expenses incurred by the
treasurer of state, the attorney general, the second injury
fund, or the department of revenue and finance, in connection
with the second injury fund, may be paid from the fund to the
extent authorized by 1995 Iowa Acts, chapter 219, section 25,
and this section. However, the payment of administrative costs
and expenses incurred by the treasurer of state, the attorney
general, the second injury fund, and the department of revenue
and finance, as authorized in this subsection, shall only be
permitted for administrative costs and expenses incurred in the
fiscal year commencing July 1, 1996, and ending June 30, 1997,
and shall not exceed $170,000.
5. An insurer or self-insurer shall pay a surcharge imposed by
this section no later than thirty days following the assessment.
6. a. If an insurer, policyholder, or self-insurer withdraws
from doing business in this state before the surcharges
authorized by this section become due, or fails or neglects to
pay the surcharge imposed, the treasurer of state shall at once
proceed to collect the surcharge, and may employ such legal
process as may be necessary for that purpose, and when so
collected shall deposit the surcharge into the second injury
fund. The treasurer may bring the suit in any court of this
state having jurisdiction, and reasonable attorney's fees may be
taxed as costs in the suit.
b. If the surcharges imposed by this section are not paid or
transferred when due, the insurer, policyholder, or selfinsurer
responsible for the failure shall be required to pay, as part of
the surcharge, interest on the surcharge at the rate of one and
one-half percent per month for each month or fraction of a month
delinquent. If the treasurer of state prevails in any dispute
concerning the assessment of a surcharge which has not been paid
or transferred, interest shall be paid upon the amount found due
to the state at the rate of one and one-half percent per month
for each month or fraction of a month delinquent.
c. An insurer is not liable for a surcharge which is not paid
to the insurer by the policyholder or employer provided the
insurer has made good faith efforts to collect the surcharge
from the policyholder or employer. An insurance carrier shall
report to the treasurer of state a policyholder or employer who
fails to pay a surcharge within thirty days of its due date.
d. In any action concerning the amount of a surcharge imposed
by this section, any other surcharge shall continue to be made
based upon the amount assessed by the treasurer of state. In
the event of an overpayment, the excess amount paid may be
credited against future payments otherwise due.
e. An employer who fails to pay the surcharges imposed under
this section shall not be allowed to purchase workers'
compensation insurance coverage or to renew a self-insurance
authorization unless and until the surcharge has been paid.
7. For the purposes of this section, "insurer" includes a
self-insurance group approved by the commissioner of insurance
pursuant to section 87.4.

by the governor's committee on government spending reform.
Sec. 27. ELIMINATION OF VACANT UNFUNDED JOBS. The state
departments, agencies, or offices receiving appropriations under

possible for interagency communication, meetings, and
conferences to reduce travel and related expenses for the
respective offices or departments.

state departments, agencies, and offices receiving

is amended to read as follows:
b. The commission may authorize the licensee to simultaneously
telecast within the racetrack enclosure, for the purpose of
pari-mutuel wagering, a horse or dog race licensed by the racing
authority of another state. It is the responsibility of each
licensee to obtain the consent of appropriate racing officials
in other states as required by the federal Interstate
Horseracing Act of 1978, 15 U.S.C. } 3001-3007, to televise
races for the purpose of conducting parimutuel wagering. A
licensee may also obtain the permission of a person licensed by
the commission to conduct horse or dog races in this state to
televise races conducted by that person for the purpose of
conducting pari-mutuel racing. However, arrangements made by a
licensee to televise any race for the purpose of conducting
pari-mutuel wagering are subject to the approval of the
commission, and the commission shall select the races to be
televised. The races selected by the commission shall be the
same for all licensees approved by the commission to televise
races for the purpose of conducting pari-mutuel wagering. The
commission shall not authorize the simultaneous telecast or
televising of and a licensee shall not simultaneously telecast
or televise any horse or dog race for the purpose of conducting
pari-mutuel wagering unless the simultaneous telecast or
televising is done at the racetrack of a licensee that schedules

the season. For purposes of the taxes imposed under this
chapter, races televised by a licensee for purposes of
pari-mutuel wagering shall be treated as if the races were held

provision in this chapter, the commission may allow a licensee
to adopt the same deductions as those of the pari-mutuel
racetrack from which the races are being simultaneously
telecast.

red stars on a yellow background, one before and one following
the registration number on the plate, which registration number
shall be the officer's badge number. Registration plates issued
for a county sheriff's patrol vehicles shall display one
seven-pointed gold star followed by the letter "S" and the call
number of the vehicle. However, the director of general

GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
A copy of the following communication was received and placed on
file:
April 23, 1996
The Honorable Leonard Boswell
President of the Senate
State Capitol Building
L O C A L
Dear Mr. President:
Senate File 2385, an act relating to appointment and election of
state judicial nominating commissioners and providing effective
and applicability dates and transition provisions, is hereby
disapproved and transmitted to you in accordance with Article
III, Section 16, of the Constitution of the State of Iowa.
Among the most important decisions a Governor makes is the
appointment of judges to our state's highest Courts. The process
as it exists in Iowa today requires the Governor to select from
recommendations made by the State Judicial Nominating
Commission. Broadbased and balanced representation of the
members serving on tile Commission is critical to assuring that
nominees for the Court of Appeals and the Iowa Supreme Court are
among the most experienced and best qualified persons in the
state for the positions.
Since its creation in 1963, membership of the Commission has
included seven public members appointed by the Governor and
seven lawyer members elected by the Bar. When created, the a
appointment and election of members to the Commission was tied
to the Congressional districts existing at the time. The statute
provided that one member was to be appointed and elected from
each of the seven Congressional districts.
Questions have been raised over time about the continued
appointment and election of' 14 members, as the number of
Congressional districts have been reduced. The Attorney General
addressed the issue in an opinion dated March 9, 1971, stating
that the number and bounds of the Judicial Commission Districts
were established to conform to the then-existing Congressional
districts as a matter of convenience in order to provide
geographic distribution of the membership. The opinion went on
to conclude that there is no relationship whatever between the
Congress and the Judicial Commission, therefore, "there is no
reason for a subsequent change in distracting for one purpose to
carry with it a change for the other purpose."
A reduction in the number of appointed members reduces the
public's opportunity to be involved in the selection of judges
to serve on the state's highest benches. These are the judges
who make the final decisions concerning disputes considered by
Iowa courts. Public member participation in the selection of
these judges gives Iowans some assurance that their decisions
will fairly reflect the views and philosophies of the people who
appear before them. Reducing the number of public members on the
Commission, even though an equal number of lawyer positions are
eliminated, dilutes, as well as diminishes, the citizen input so
necessary to choosing the best persons to serve in these very
important positions.
A better way to resolve the confusion caused by the current
statute would be to set the number of appointed and elected
members at seven each while eliminating all reference to
Congressional districts. To do so would avoid the need to
shorten the terms of citizens presently serving on the
Commission. Action similar to what I am recommending has
recently been taken with respect to appointments to both the
Corrections Board and Racing and Gaming Commission. This Would
be a much simpler and more permanent solution than that proposed
in Senate File 2385.
For the above reasons, I hereby respectfully disapprove Senate
File 2385.
Sincerely,
Terry E. Branstad
Governor
