ENROLLED HOUSE BILL No. 5483
AN ACT to amend 1969 PA 317, entitled “An act to revise and consolidate the laws relating to worker’s disability compensation; to increase the administrative efficiency of the adjudicative processes of the worker’s compensation system; to improve the qualifications of the persons having adjudicative functions within the worker’s compensation system; to prescribe certain powers and duties; to create the board of worker’s compensation magistrates and the worker’s compensation appellate commission; to create certain other boards; to provide certain procedures for the resolution of claims, including mediation and arbitration; to prescribe certain benefits for persons suffering a personal injury under the act; to prescribe certain limitations on obtaining benefits under the act; to create, and provide for the transfer of, certain funds; to prescribe certain fees; to prescribe certain remedies and penalties; to repeal certain parts of this act on specific dates; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,” (MCL 418.101 to 418.941) by adding section 501b.
The People of the State of Michigan enact:
Sec. 501b. If the director determines that there is a reasonable likelihood that the remedies available under R 408.43s of the Michigan administrative code will be insufficient to meet the obligations of the trust, the director may assess private employer group self-insurers to the extent necessary to secure payment of benefits for which the private employer group self-insurers security fund may become responsible under this act and associated overhead and administrative expenses. The assessments shall be apportioned among the private employer group self-insurers based on each self-insurer group’s proportion of the total paid losses, as defined in section 551(3)(b), of each private group self-insurer paid by private employer self-insured groups in the prior year. An assessment made under this section is payable to the PEGSISF.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect unless all of the following bills of the 97th Legislature are enacted into law:
(a) House Bill No. 5478.
(b) House Bill No. 5479.
(c) House Bill No. 5480.
This act is ordered to take immediate effect.
