IowaIowa fund reimburses attorney general for work related to the fund
Iowa law provides annual reimbursement for the attorney general’s work related to the workers’ compensation second injury fund and counts it as a liability in funding decisions.
What it does
The law provides annual reimbursement from the fund for the attorney general’s related services, up to a maximum amount. The enrolled text does not make that amount clear.
When deciding whether funding is available, the insurance commissioner must count the reimbursement as an outstanding liability.
Argument forAnnual reimbursement could help cover the attorney general’s costs for services related to the fund.
Argument againstCounting the reimbursement as an outstanding liability could reduce the money counted as available for other purposes.
More detail
The attorney general shall be reimbursed annually from the fund for services related to it. The reimbursement is for services related to the workers’ compensation second injury fund. The text sets an annual maximum, but missing amendment formatting makes the amount unclear. The reimbursement is annual.
The insurance commissioner shall count the reimbursement as an outstanding liability when determining whether funding is available. This applies to the commissioner’s funding-availability determination under the cited second injury fund law. The requirement applies when the commissioner makes that funding-availability determination.
