    80 of Rants and Iverson v. Vilsack, No. 60/03=1948, June 16,
    90 2004, has invalidated the proper enactment of provisions
   100 contained in 2003 Iowa Acts, First Extraordinary Session,
   110 chapter 1 (House File 692).  It is the intent of the general
   120 assembly to reenact and reaffirm certain provisions of House

   160 validate contracts entered into in reliance on the enactment
   170 of provisions published in the 2003 Code Supplement.
   180    Sec. 2.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  This division of this Act, being
   190 deemed of immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment.

   440    Sec. 6.  Section 625A.9, subsection 2, Code Supplement
   450 2003, as reaffirmed and reenacted by this division of this
   460 Act, is amended to read as follows:
   470    2.  a.  If Except as provided in paragraph "b", if the
   480 judgment or order appealed from is for money, such bond shall
   490 not exceed one hundred ten percent of the amount of the money
   500 judgment.
   510    The court may set a bond in an amount in excess of one
   520 hundred ten percent of the amount of the money judgment upon
   530 making specific findings justifying such an amount, and in
   540 doing so, shall consider, but shall not be limited to
   550 consideration of, the following criteria:
   560    (1)  The availability and cost of the bond or other form of
   570 adequate security.
   580    (2)  The assets of the judgment debtor and of the judgment
   590 debtor's insurer or indemnitor, if any.
   600    (3)  The potential adverse effects of the bond on the
   610 judgment debtor, including, but not limited to, the potential
   620 adverse effects on the judgment debtor's employees, financial
   630 stability, and business operations.
   640    (4)  The potential adverse effects of the bond on the
   650 judgment creditor and third parties, including public
   660 entities.
   670    (5)  In a class action suit, the adequacy of the bond to
   680 compensate all members of the class.
   690    b.  Notwithstanding paragraph "a", in no case shall a bond
   700 exceed one hundred million dollars, regardless of the value of
   710 the money judgment.  This limitation shall not apply in cases
   720 where the court finds that the defendant intentionally
   730 dissipated the defendant's assets outside the ordinary course
   740 of business for the purpose of evading payment of the
   750 judgment.
   760    Sec. 7.  2004 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2306, is repealed.
   770    Sec. 8.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY

   970                      WORKERS' COMPENSATION
   990    Sec. 9.  Section 85.27, subsection 4, Code 2003, is amended
  1000 to read as follows:
  1010    4.  For purposes of this section, the employer is obliged
  1020 to furnish reasonable services and supplies to treat an
  1030 injured employee, and has the right to choose the care.  If
  1040 the employer chooses the care, the employer shall hold the
  1050 employee harmless for the cost of care until the employer
  1060 notifies the employee that the employer is no longer
  1070 authorizing all or any part of the care and the reason for the
  1080 change in authorization.  An employer is not liable for the
  1090 cost of care that the employer arranges in response to a
  1100 sudden emergency if the employee's condition, for which care
  1110 was arranged, is not related to the employment.  The treatment
  1120 must be offered promptly and be reasonably suited to treat the
  1130 injury without undue inconvenience to the employee.  If the
  1140 employee has reason to be dissatisfied with the care offered,
  1150 the employee should communicate the basis of such
  1160 dissatisfaction to the employer, in writing if requested,
  1170 following which the employer and the employee may agree to
  1180 alternate care reasonably suited to treat the injury.  If the
  1190 employer and employee cannot agree on such alternate care, the
  1200 commissioner may, upon application and reasonable proofs of
  1210 the necessity therefor, allow and order other care.  In an
  1220 emergency, the employee may choose the employee's care at the
  1230 employer's expense, provided the employer or the employer's
  1240 agent cannot be reached immediately.  An application made
  1250 under this subsection shall be considered an original
  1260 proceeding for purposes of commencement and contested case
  1270 proceedings under section 85.26.  The hearing shall be
  1280 conducted pursuant to chapter 17A.  Before a hearing is
  1290 scheduled, the parties may choose a telephone hearing or an
  1300 in=person hearing.  A request for an in=person hearing shall
  1310 be approved unless the in=person hearing would be impractical
  1320 because of the distance between the parties to the hearing.
  1330 The workers' compensation commissioner shall issue a decision
  1340 within ten working days of receipt of an application for
  1350 alternate care made pursuant to a telephone hearing or within
  1360 fourteen working days of receipt of an application for
  1370 alternate care made pursuant to an in=person hearing.  The
  1380 employer shall notify an injured employee of the employee's
  1390 ability to contest the employer's choice of care pursuant to
  1400 this subsection.
  1410    Sec. 10.  Section 85.34, subsection 2, paragraph u, Code
  1420 2003, is amended to read as follows:
  1430    u.  In all cases of permanent partial disability other than
  1440 those hereinabove described or referred to in paragraphs "a"
  1450 through "t" hereof, the compensation shall be paid during the
  1460 number of weeks in relation to five hundred weeks as the
  1470 reduction in the employee's earning capacity caused by the
  1480 disability bears in relation to the body of the injured
  1490 earning capacity that the employee as a whole possessed when
  1500 the injury occurred.
  1510    Sec. 11.  Section 85.34, Code 2003, is amended by adding
  1520 the following new subsection:
  1530    NEW SUBSECTION.  7.  SUCCESSIVE DISABILITIES.
  1540    a.  An employer is fully liable for compensating all of an
  1550 employee's disability that arises out of and in the course of
  1560 the employee's employment with the employer.  An employer is
  1570 not liable for compensating an employee's preexisting
  1580 disability that arose out of and in the course of employment
  1590 with a different employer or from causes unrelated to
  1600 employment.
  1610    b.  If an injured employee has a preexisting disability
  1620 that was caused by a prior injury arising out of and in the
  1630 course of employment with the same employer, and the
  1640 preexisting disability was compensable under the same
  1650 paragraph of section 85.34, subsection 2, as the employee's
  1660 present injury, the employer is liable for the combined
  1670 disability that is caused by the injuries, measured in
  1680 relation to the employee's condition immediately prior to the
  1690 first injury.  In this instance, the employer's liability for
  1700 the combined disability shall be considered to be already
  1710 partially satisfied to the extent of the percentage of
  1720 disability for which the employee was previously compensated
  1730 by the employer.
  1740    If, however, an employer is liable to an employee for a
  1750 combined disability that is payable under section 85.34,
  1760 subsection 2, paragraph "u", and the employee has a
  1770 preexisting disability that causes the employee's earnings to
  1780 be less at the time of the present injury than if the prior
  1790 injury had not occurred, the employer's liability for the
  1800 combined disability shall be considered to be already
  1810 partially satisfied to the extent of the percentage of
  1820 disability for which the employee was previously compensated
  1830 by the employer minus the percentage that the employee's
  1840 earnings are less at the time of the present injury than if
  1850 the prior injury had not occurred.
  1860    c.  A successor employer shall be considered to be the same
  1870 employer if the employee became part of the successor
  1880 employer's workforce through a merger, purchase, or other
  1890 transaction that assumes the employee into the successor
  1900 employer's workforce without substantially changing the nature
  1910 of the employee's employment.
  1920    Sec. 12.  Section 85.36, subsection 9, paragraph c, Code
  1930 2003, is amended by striking the paragraph.
  1940    Sec. 13.  Section 85.70, Code 2003, is amended to read as
  1950 follows:
  1960    85.70  ADDITIONAL PAYMENT FOR ATTENDANCE.
  1970    An employee who has sustained an injury resulting in
  1980 permanent partial or permanent total disability, for which
  1990 compensation is payable under this chapter, and who cannot
  2000 return to gainful employment because of such disability, shall
  2010 upon application to and approval by the workers' compensation
  2020 commissioner be entitled to a twenty=dollar one hundred dollar
  2030 weekly payment from the employer in addition to any other
  2040 benefit payments, during each full week in which the employee
  2050 is actively participating in a vocational rehabilitation
  2060 program recognized by the vocational rehabilitation services
  2070 division of the department of education.  The workers'
  2080 compensation commissioner's approval of such application for
  2090 payment may be given only after a careful evaluation of
  2100 available facts, and after consultation with the employer or
  2110 the employer's representative.  Judicial review of the
  2120 decision of the workers' compensation commissioner may be
  2130 obtained in accordance with the terms of the Iowa
  2140 administrative procedure Act and in section 86.26.  Such
  2150 additional benefit payment shall be paid for a period not to
  2160 exceed thirteen consecutive weeks except that the workers'
  2170 compensation commissioner may extend the period of payment not
  2180 to exceed an additional thirteen weeks if the circumstances
  2190 indicate that a continuation of training will in fact
  2200 accomplish rehabilitation.
  2210    Sec. 14.  Section 86.12, as published in Iowa Code
  2220 Supplement 2003, is reaffirmed and reenacted.
  2230    Sec. 15.  Section 86.13A, as published in Iowa Code
  2240 Supplement 2003, is reaffirmed and reenacted.
  2250    Sec. 16.  Section 86.13A, unnumbered paragraph 2, Code
  2260 Supplement 2003, as reaffirmed and reenacted by this Act, is
  2270 amended to read as follows:
  2280    If during any fiscal year commencing after June 30, 2005
  2290 2006, the general business practices of an employer or insurer
  2300 result in the delay of the commencement of voluntary weekly
  2310 compensation payments after the date specified in section
  2320 85.30 more frequently and for a longer number of days than the
  2330 average number of days for the entire group of employers or
  2340 insurers, the commissioner may impose an assessment on the
  2350 employer or insurer payable to the second injury fund created
  2360 in section 85.66.  The amount of the assessment shall be ten
  2370 dollars, multiplied by the average number of days that weekly
  2380 compensation payments were delayed after the date specified in
  2390 section 85.30, and multiplied by the number of injuries the
  2400 employer or insurer reported during the fiscal year.
  2410 Notwithstanding the foregoing, an assessment shall not be
  2420 imposed if the employer or insurer commenced voluntary weekly
  2430 compensation benefits within the time specified in section
  2440 85.30 for more than seventy=five percent of the injuries
  2450 reported by the employer or insurer.
  2460    Sec. 17.  Section 85.55, Code 2003, is repealed.
  2470    Sec. 18.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND APPLICABILITY PROVISIONS.  The
  2480 sections of this division of this Act amending sections 85.27,
  2490 85.34, 85.36, and 85.70, and repealing section 85.55, being
  2500 deemed of immediate importance, take effect upon enactment and
  2510 apply to injuries occurring on or after that date.
  2520    Sec. 19.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY
  2530 PROVISIONS.  The sections of this division of this Act
  2540 reaffirming and reenacting sections 86.12 and 86.13A and the
  2550 section of this division of this Act amending section 86.13A
  2560 as reaffirmed and reenacted, being deemed of immediate
  2570 importance, take effect upon enactment and are retroactively
  2580 applicable to injuries occurring on or after July 1, 2003.
  2590    Sec. 20.  LEGISLATIVE INTENT.  It is the intent of the
  2600 general assembly that this division of this Act will prevent
  2610 all double recoveries and all double reductions in workers'
  2620 compensation benefits for permanent partial disability.  This
  2630 division modifies the fresh start and full responsibility
  2640 rules of law announced by the Iowa supreme court in a series
  2650 of judicial precedents.
  2660    The general assembly recognizes that the amount of
  2670 compensation a person receives for disability is directly
  2680 related to the person's earnings at the time of injury.  The
  2690 competitive labor market determines the value of a person's
  2700 earning capacity through a strong correlation with the level
  2710 of earnings a person can achieve in the competitive labor
  2720 market.  The market reevaluates a person as a working unit
  2730 each time the person competes in the competitive labor market,
  2740 causing a fresh start with each change of employment.  The
  2750 market's determination effectively apportions any disability
  2760 through a reduced level of earnings.  The market does not
  2770 reevaluate an employee's earning capacity while the employee
  2780 remains employed by the same employer.
  2790    The general assembly intends that an employer shall fully
  2800 compensate all of an injured employee's disability that is
  2810 caused by work=related injuries with the employer without
  2820 compensating the same disability more than once.  This
  2830 division of this Act creates a formula that applies disability
  2840 payments made toward satisfaction of the combined disability
  2850 that the employer is liable for compensating, while taking
  2860 into account the impact of the employee's earnings on the
  2870 amount of compensation to be ultimately paid for the
  2880 disability.
  2890    The general assembly does not intend this division of this
  2900 Act to change the character of any disability from scheduled
  2910 to unscheduled or vice versa or to combine disabilities that
  2920 are not otherwise combined under law existing on the effective
  2930 date of this section of this division of this Act.
  2940 Combination of successive scheduled disabilities in section
  2950 85.34, subsection 7, as enacted in this division of this Act,
  2960 is limited to disabilities affecting the same member, such as
  2970 successive disabilities to the right arm.  A disability to the
  2980 left arm that is followed by a disability to the right arm is
  2990 governed by section 85.64 and is not a successive disability
  3000 under this division.  This division does not alter benefits
  3010 under the second injury fund, benefits for permanent total
  3020 disability under section 85.34, subsection 3, the method of
  3030 determining the degree of unscheduled permanent partial
  3040 disability, the compensable character of aggravation injuries,
  3050 or an employer's right to choose the care an injured employee
  3060 receives, expand the fresh start rule to scheduled
  3070 disabilities, or change existing law in any way that is not
  3080 expressly provided in this division.
  3090    The general assembly intends that changes in the identity
  3100 of the employer that do not require the employee to reenter
  3110 the competitive labor market will be treated as if the
  3120 employee remained employed by the same employer.
  3130    Sec. 21.  EFFECTIVE DATE.  Unless otherwise provided, this
  3140 division of this Act, being deemed of immediate importance,
  3150 takes effect upon enactment.
  3170                           DIVISION V
  3180                       FINANCIAL SERVICES
  3200    Sec. 22.  The following provisions, as published in Iowa
  3210 Code Supplement 2003, pertaining to financial services, are
  3220 reaffirmed and reenacted:
  3230    1.  Section 537.2502, subsections 3 and 6.
  3240    2.  Section 537.2601, subsection 1.
  3250    Sec. 23.  EFFECTIVE DATE AND RETROACTIVE APPLICABILITY
  3260 PROVISIONS.  This division of this Act, being deemed of
  3270 immediate importance, takes effect upon enactment, and is
  3280 retroactively applicable to July 1, 2003.
  3300                           DIVISION VI
  3310                LOAN AND CREDIT GUARANTEE PROGRAM
  3330    Sec. 24.  The following provisions, as published in Iowa
  3340 Code Supplement 2003, pertaining to the economic development
  3350 loan and credit guarantee program, are reaffirmed and
  3360 reenacted:
  3370    1.  Section 15E.221.
  3380    2.  Section 15E.222.
  3390    3.  Section 15E.223.
  3400    4.  Section 15E.224.
  3410    5.  Section 15E.225.
  3420    Sec. 25.  Section 15E.223, subsection 4, Code Supplement
  3430 2003, as reaffirmed and reenacted by this division of this
  3440 Act, is amended to read as follows:
  3450    4.  "Targeted industry business" means an existing or
  3460 proposed business entity, including an emerging small business
  3470 or qualified business which is operated for profit and which
  3480 has a primary business purpose of doing business in at least
  3490 one of the targeted industries designated by the department
  3500 which include life sciences, software and information
  3510 technology, advanced manufacturing, value=added agriculture,
  3520 and any other industry designated as a targeted industry by
  3530 the loan and credit guarantee advisory board department.
  3540    Sec. 26.  Section 15E.224, subsections 1, 3, 5, and 7, Code
  3550 Supplement 2003, as reaffirmed and reenacted by this division
  3560 of this Act, are amended to read as follows:
  3570    1.  The department shall, with the advice of the loan and
  3580 credit guarantee advisory board, establish and administer a
  3590 loan and credit guarantee program.  The department, pursuant
  3600 to agreements with financial institutions, shall provide loan
  3610 and credit guarantees, or other forms of credit guarantees for
  3620 qualified businesses and targeted industry businesses for
  3630 eligible project costs.  A loan or credit guarantee provided
  3640 under the program may stand alone or may be used in
  3650 conjunction with or to enhance other loans or credit
  3660 guarantees offered by private, state, or federal entities.
  3670 The department may purchase insurance to cover defaulted loans
  3680 meeting the requirements of the program.  However, the
  3690 department shall not in any manner directly or indirectly
  3700 pledge the credit of the state.  Eligible project costs
  3710 include expenditures for productive equipment and machinery,
  3720 working capital for operations and export transactions,
  3730 research and development, marketing, and such other costs as
  3740 the department may so designate.
  3750    3.  In administering the program, the department shall
  3760 consult and cooperate with financial institutions in this
  3770 state and with the loan and credit guarantee advisory board.
  3780 Administrative procedures and application procedures, as
  3790 practicable, shall be responsive to the needs of qualified
  3800 businesses, targeted industry businesses, and financial
  3810 institutions, and shall be consistent with prudent investment
  3820 and lending practices and criteria.
  3830    5.  The department, with the advice of the loan and credit
  3840 guarantee advisory board, shall adopt a loan or credit
  3850 guarantee application procedure for a financial institution on
  3860 behalf of a qualified business or targeted industry business.
  3870    7.  The department, with the advice of the loan and credit
  3880 guarantee advisory board, may adopt loan and credit guarantee
  3890 application procedures that allow a qualified business or
  3900 targeted industry business to apply directly to the department
  3910 for a preliminary guarantee commitment.  A preliminary
  3920 guarantee commitment may be issued by the department subject
