KRS § 342.1240 — KY Code / Title XXVII / Chapter 342 / Section 342.1240
342.1240 Legislative findings and declaration of intent regarding the Kentucky coal workers' pneumoconiosis fund
Status: in_force

342.1240 Legislative findings and declaration of intent regarding the

Kentucky coal workers' pneumoconiosis fund.

(1) The General Assembly declares:

(a) The Kentucky coal workers' pneumoconiosis fund was created in 1996 for

the purpose of placing the financial responsibility for liabilities incurred as

a result of workers' compensation awards for coal workers'

pneumoconiosis on the employers engaged in the severance and

processing of coal through assessments placed on workers'

compensation premiums and self-insured employers and severed coal.

These assessments have been used to pay fifty percent (50) of

indemnity benefits of a coal workers' pneumoconiosis claim. However, the

combination of the severe downturn in the amount of coal being severed

in Kentucky, the drastic reduction in the number of coal employers and

employees, and the significant increase in coal workers' pneumoconiosis

claims being filed have had a severe negative impact on the Kentucky

coal workers' pneumoconiosis fund.

(b) For calendar year 2017, the Kentucky Workers' Compensation Funding

Commission, which is required to assess all employers engaged in the

severance and processing of coal at a rate that would fully fund and

prefund all claim liabilities and administrative expenses through

December 31 of the following year, assessed coal employers forty-nine

and one-half percent (49.5) on employers' workers' compensation

insurance premiums and assessed forty-one and seventy-four hundredths

cents ($0.4174) per ton of severed coal.

(c) The Kentucky coal workers' pneumoconiosis fund will not have adequate

funding without burdensome assessments on coal employers in order to

meet claim liabilities and administrative expenses in the upcoming years.

(2) Therefore, it is the intent of the General Assembly to close the Kentucky coal

workers' pneumoconiosis fund on July 1, 2017, to any coal workers'

pneumoconiosis claims filed after June 30, 2017, and have the assets and

liabilities of the Kentucky coal workers' pneumoconiosis fund transferred

through a loss portfolio transfer agreement to the Kentucky Employers' Mutual

Insurance Authority, which is a nonprofit, independent, self-supporting de jure

municipal corporation and political subdivision of the Commonwealth.
