OPINION BLOW
TO COMP N|FS
IN THIS STATE
Attorney General Rules EN-
ployers Who Do Not In
sure With Idaho Must De-
post Bond or Contract.
Industrial Accident Board
Has No Authority to Ac-
cept Other Kind Of Secur-
ity-Bonds Unlimited as
to Amount.

Employers who do not insure in the
state fund under the state insurance
and workmen's compensation acts
must deposit either a surety bond or
guaranty contract and the indus
trial accident board has no authority
to accept any other kind Of security.
Attorney General T. A. Walters placed
this construction on the law passed by
the last legislature. 1t is a hard blow
to surety companies for it virtually
bars them from operating under the
law. The further construction is
placed on the law that the bonds may
be unlimited as to amount, so that the
board will have the power to require
from an employer a contract which
does not fix a maximum liability. 1t
is further held that the deposit of a
bond a contract in no way releases
the employer from liability. He still
Is liable as to both bond and surety.
OPINION IN FULL.
The opinion of the attorney general
is of unusual importance to employers
in this state. 1t is in full as follows:
Mr.. C. o. Broxon. State Insurance
Manager-Dear Sir: This office is in
cent date requesting our opinion rel
alive to several questions which have
arisen under the recently enacted law
known as the Worwmen's Compensa-
ton act.
Your first question is:
Can the industrial accident board ac-
cept any other class of security under
subdivision OBJ of section IS Of the
act, than a surety bond or a guaranty
contract?
The answer to this question, so far
as it is determined by the wording of
the section itself depends upon the
construction placed on the word may"
II the word may" means must" as
it frequently does in legal parlance,
then the employer is limited to the
two classes of security specifically
named If, on the other hand the ex-
preston under consideration was in
serted in the act for the purpose of
authorizing the board to accept any
satisfactory security, including the
two classes named. then, of course, the
class and kind of security which an
employer may deposit and the board
may accept, rests entirely in the dis
cretion of the board.
MUST MAKE DEPOSIT.
Reference to correlated sections of
the act strongly inclines us to the be-
lief that it was the legislative intent
to lipit the employer to the two classes
OF security specifically named. Sec
tions 90, 70, II, 70 and 110-J OF the
act, all Of which deal with the ques-
ton of security for the payment of
compensation, mention but three
classes OF security, namely: Insur-
ence in the state fund. guaranty con-
tracts and surety bonds. The wording
of these sections clearly indicates that

EMPLOYER NOT RELEASED.

Your third question is:
Does the acceptance OF the bond or
contract release the employer from
liability to his employees, or is he still
primarily liable and the surety second
arily liable?
IT seems reasonably clear from the
wording Of the act that the bond or
contract referred to therein is not in
the nature of an insurance policy, but
rather In the nature Of security. That
is to say, the employer deposits the
bond or contract with the board as
guarantee that he, the employer. will
pay any a-'ard made against him. This
being true, the deposit of the bond or
contract in no way releases the en-
pioyer from liability. He still is
liable. and upon the acceptance of the
bond or contract, the surety also be-
comes liable to the same extent. In
case it should ever become necessary
to institute an action on behalf of an
employee, such action could be brought
either against the employer the surety.
or both. Although, the act itself does
not contemplate that under the proyi
sions of subdivision OBJ the employer
shall be released from the liability.
there is nothing in the act which pro.
hibts the employer from portectins
himself through the medium of liza
bility insurance it he desires to do So
Your fourth question relates to the
manner of enforcing an award of the
board, and is in substance as follows:
In case a workman employed by an
employer who carries his own risk is
awarded compensation under the act
and both employer and surety refuse
to pay, would the employee bring suit
to enforce collection, or would this be
the duty of the board and before what
tribunal would the action be Instituted?
PARTY TO JUDGMENT.
The provisions of the act relating to
awards of compensation are contained
in part 8 thereof, being sections As to
81 inclusive. These sections provide a
method of procedure by which an in
jured employee who is entitled to COM
pensation under the act, may secure an
award thereof by the industrial acct
