Sec. 4123.34. It shall be the duty of the bureau of
| 636 |
workers'
compensation board of directors and the administrator of
| 637 |
workers'
compensation to safeguard and maintain the solvency of
| 638 |
the state
insurance fund and all other funds specified in this
| 639 |
chapter and
Chapters 4121., 4127., and 4131. of the Revised Code.
| 640 |
The
administrator,
in the exercise of the powers and discretion
| 641 |
conferred upon the
administrator in section 4123.29 of the Revised
| 642 |
Code, shall fix and
maintain, with the advice and consent of the
| 643 |
board, for each class of occupation or industry, the lowest
| 644 |
possible
rates of premium consistent with the maintenance of a
| 645 |
solvent state
insurance fund and the creation and maintenance of a
| 646 |
reasonable
surplus, after the payment of legitimate claims for
| 647 |
injury,
occupational disease, and death that the administrator
| 648 |
authorizes to be paid from the state insurance fund for the
| 649 |
benefit of
injured, diseased, and the dependents of killed
| 650 |
employees. In
establishing rates, the administrator shall take
| 651 |
into account the
necessity of ensuring sufficient money is set
| 652 |
aside in the
premium payment security fund to cover any defaults
| 653 |
in premium
obligations. The administrator shall observe all of the
| 654 |
following requirements in fixing the rates of premium for the
| 655 |
risks of occupations or industries:
| 656 |
(A) The administrator shall keep an accurate account of the
| 657 |
money paid in
premiums by each of the several classes of
| 658 |
occupations or
industries, and the losses on account of injuries,
| 659 |
occupational
disease, and death of employees thereof, and also
| 660 |
keep an account
of the money received from each individual
| 661 |
employer and the
amount of losses incurred against the state
| 662 |
insurance fund on
account of injuries, occupational disease, and
| 663 |
death of the
employees of the employer.
| 664 |
(B) Ten per centA portion of the money paid into the state
| 665 |
insurance
fund shall be set aside for the creation of a surplus
| 666 |
until the
surplus amounts to the sum of one hundred thousand
| 667 |
dollars, after
which time, whenever necessary in the judgment of
| 668 |
the
administrator to guarantee a solventfund account within the | 669 |
state insurance fund, a
sum
not exceeding five per cent of all
| 670 |
the money paid into the
state
insurance fund shall be credited to
| 671 |
the surplus fund. Any references in this chapter or in Chapter
| 672 |
4121., 4125., 4127., or 4131. of the Revised Code to the surplus
| 673 |
fund, the surplus created in this division, the statutory surplus
| 674 |
fund, or the statutory surplus of the state insurance fund are
| 675 |
hereby deemed to be references to the surplus fund account. The
| 676 |
administrator may transfer the portion of the state insurance fund
| 677 |
to the surplus fund account as the administrator determines is | 678 |
necessary to satisfy the needs of the surplus fund account and to | 679 |
guarantee the
solvency of the state insurance fund and the | 680 |
surplus fund account.
In addition
to all statutory authority | 681 |
under this chapter and
Chapter 4121. of
the Revised Code, the | 682 |
administrator has
discretionary and
contingency authority to | 683 |
make charges to the
surplus fund account. The
administrator | 684 |
shall account for all
charges, whether statutory,
discretionary, | 685 |
or contingency, that
the administrator may make to the
surplus | 686 |
fund account. A
revision
of basic
rates shall be made annually | 687 |
on the
first day
of July.
| 688 |
Notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary,
one
| 689 |
hundred eighty days after the effective date on which
| 690 |
self-insuring employers first may elect under division (D) of
| 691 |
section 4121.66 of the Revised Code to directly pay for
| 692 |
rehabilitation expenses, the administrator shall calculate the
| 693 |
deficit, if any, in the portion of the surplus fund account that
| 694 |
is used for
reimbursement to self-insuring employers for all
| 695 |
expenses other
than handicapped reimbursement under section
| 696 |
4123.343 of the
Revised Code. The administrator, from time to
| 697 |
time, may
determine
whether the
surplus fund account has such a
| 698 |
deficit and may assess all
self-insuring
employers who
| 699 |
participated in the portion of the
surplus fund account
during
| 700 |
the accrual of the deficit and who during that
time period
have
| 701 |
not made the election under division (D) of
section 4121.66
of
| 702 |
the Revised Code the amount the administrator
determines
| 703 |
necessary to reduce the deficit.
| 704 |
Revisions of basic rates shall be in accordance with the
| 705 |
oldest four of the last five calendar years of the combined
| 706 |
accident and occupational disease experience of the administrator
| 707 |
in the administration of this chapter, as shown by the accounts
| 708 |
kept as provided in this section, excluding the experience of
| 709 |
employers that are no longer active if the administrator
| 710 |
determines that the
inclusion of those employers would have a
| 711 |
significant negative impact on the
remainder of the employers in a
| 712 |
particular manual classification; and the
administrator shall
| 713 |
adopt rules, with the advice and
consent of the board, governing
| 714 |
rate
revisions, the object of which shall be to make an equitable
| 715 |
distribution of losses among the several classes of occupation or
| 716 |
industry, which rules shall be general in their application.
| 717 |
(C) The administrator may apply that form of rating system
| 718 |
that the administrator finds is best calculated to merit
rate or
| 719 |
individually rate the risk more equitably, predicated upon the
| 720 |
basis
of its individual industrial accident and occupational
| 721 |
disease
experience, and may encourage and stimulate accident
| 722 |
prevention. The
administrator shall develop fixed and equitable
| 723 |
rules
controlling the rating system, which rules shall conserve to
| 724 |
each
risk the basic principles of workers' compensation insurance.
| 725 |
The fund shall be in the custody of the treasurer of state.
| 731 |
All investment earnings of the fund shall be deposited in the
| 732 |
fund. Disbursements from the fund shall be made by the bureau of
| 733 |
workers' compensation upon order of the administrator to the
state
| 734 |
insurance fund. The use of the moneys held by the premium
payment
| 735 |
security fund is restricted to reimbursement to the state
| 736 |
insurance fund of premiums due and uncollected in excess of an
| 737 |
employer's premium security deposit. The moneys constituting the
| 738 |
premium payment security fund shall be maintained without regard
| 739 |
to or reliance upon any other fund. This section does not
prevent
| 740 |
the deposit or investment of the premium payment security
fund
| 741 |
with any other fund created by this chapter, but the premium
| 742 |
payment security fund is separate and distinct for every other
| 743 |
purpose and a strict accounting thereof shall be maintained.
| 744 |
(F)(1) In determining the premium rates for the
construction
| 754 |
industry the administrator shall calculate the employers' premiums
| 755 |
based upon the actual remuneration
construction industry employees
