Status: in_force

(1) If a domiciliary receiver has not been appointed, the commissioner may apply to the court by verified petition for an order directing the commissioner to liquidate the assets found in this state of a foreign insurer or an alien insurer not domiciled in this state on any of the following grounds:

(1) (a) Any of the grounds in section 507C.12 or 507C.17.

(1) (b) Any of the grounds specified in section 507C.50, subsection 1, paragraphs “b” through “d”.

(2) When an order is sought under subsection 1, the court shall cause the insurer to be given notice and time to respond to the petition as is reasonable under the circumstances.

(3) If it appears to the court that the best interests of creditors, policyholders, and the public require, the court may issue an order to liquidate in whatever terms it deems appropriate. The filing or recording of the order with the clerk of the court or the recorder of deeds of the county in which the principal business of the company is located or the county in which its principal office or place of business is located, is same notice as a deed, bill of sale, or other evidence of title duly filed or recorded with that recorder of deeds.

(4) If a domiciliary liquidator is appointed in a reciprocal state while a liquidation is proceeding under this section, the liquidator under this section shall act as ancillary receiver under section 507C.53. If a domiciliary liquidator is appointed in a nonreciprocal state while a liquidation is proceeding under this section, the liquidator under this section may petition the court for permission to act as ancillary receiver under section 507C.53.

(5) On the same grounds as are specified in subsection 1, the commissioner may petition an appropriate federal district court to be appointed receiver to liquidate that portion of the insurer’s assets and business over which the court will exercise jurisdiction, or any lesser part that the commissioner deems desirable for the protection of the policyholders and creditors in this state.

(6) When the commissioner has liquidated the assets of a foreign or alien insurer under this section, the court may order the commissioner to pay claims of residents of this state against the insurer under rules as to the liquidation of insurers under this chapter as are otherwise compatible with this section.

Measuring hearing loss.
Status: in_force

(1) Audiometric instruments, properly calibrated to the American national standards institute specifications, shall be used for measuring hearing levels and in such tests necessary to establish total hearing loss, if any. The hearing tests and examinations shall be conducted in environments which comply with accepted national standards.

(2) Audiometric examinations shall be administered by persons who are certified by the council for accreditation in occupational hearing conservation or by persons licensed as audiologists under chapter 154F, or as physicians or osteopathic physicians and surgeons under chapter 148, provided the licensed persons are trained in audiometry.

(3) In calculating the total amount of hearing loss, the hearing levels at each of the four frequencies, five hundred, one thousand, two thousand, and three thousand Hertz, shall be added together and divided by four to determine the average decibel hearing level for each ear. If the resulting average decibel hearing level in either ear is twenty-five decibels or less, the percentage hearing loss for that ear shall be zero. For each resulting average decibel hearing level exceeding twenty-five decibels, an allowance of one and one-half percent shall be made up to the maximum of one hundred percent which is reached at an average decibel hearing level of ninety-two decibels. In determining the total binaural percentage hearing loss, the percentage hearing loss for the ear with better hearing shall be multiplied by five and added to the percentage hearing loss for the ear with worse hearing and the sum of the two divided by six.

(4) (a) The assessment of the proportion of the total binaural percentage hearing loss that is due to occupational noise exposure shall be made by the employer’s regular or consulting physician or licensed audiologist who is trained and has had experience with such assessment. If several audiometric examinations are available for assessment, the physician or audiologist shall determine which examinations shall be used in the final assessment of occupational hearing loss.

(4) (b) If the employee disputes the assessment, the employee may select a physician or licensed audiologist similarly trained and experienced to give an assessment of the audiometric examinations.

(5) This section is applicable in the event of partial permanent or total permanent occupational hearing loss in one or both ears.
