What’s in it
_____ insurance fraud bureau special fund and to the special employment security contingency fund. Currently, the law requires the department of workforce development (IWD) to collect and deposit into the special employment security contingency fund (special fund) all interest, fines, and penalties collected from employers due to their failure to comply with unemployment compensation fund contribution requirements. Some of the moneys in the special fund are allocated to the IWD, some are available to the IWD subject to restrictions, and some are available for use at the discretion of the IWD.
Read the full explanation
The bill still requires the IWD to collect the interest, fines, and penalties; however, the bill provides that the IWD is to deposit such moneys in a newly created insurance fraud bureau special fund. The bill further provides that all moneys deposited are appropriated each fiscal year to the insurance division to be used for the support and maintenance of the insurance fraud bureau. The bill also removes IWD’s authority for discretionary spending of moneys in the special fund for fiscal year 2018-2019. The bill applies retroactively to July 1, 2018. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
