A bill for an act concerning reimbursement of the attorney general for services relating to the second injury fund for workers’ compensation.
This bill increases the annual reimbursement cap for the Iowa Attorney General's office from $450,000 to $900,000 for services related to the state's Second Injury Fund (a workers' compensation program for employees with prior work injuries). It requires the reimbursement amount to automatically adjust each year based on the Consumer Price Index (adjusted to the nearest $5), ensuring it keeps pace with inflation. The change directly affects the Attorney General's office (which receives the funds) and the Second Injury Fund (which pays the reimbursement). The Commissioner of Insurance must treat this reimbursement as a liability when determining fund funding availability.
