(1) The board has the authority to establish the rates to be charged by the state fund and the supplementary rate information to determine the applicable premium as provided in 39-71-2311 and 39-71-2316 and shall file the rates and supplementary rate information with the commissioner as provided in Title 33, chapter 16. The board shall engage the services of an independent actuary who is a member in good standing with the American academy of actuaries to develop and recommend actuarially sound rates. Rates must be set at amounts sufficient, when invested, to carry the estimated cost of all claims to maturity, to meet the reasonable expenses of conducting the business of the state fund, and to amass and maintain an excess of surplus over the amount produced by the national association of insurance commissioners' risk-based capital requirements for a casualty insurer.   (2) Because surplus is desirable in the insurance business, the board shall annually determine the level of surplus that must be maintained by the state fund pursuant to this section. The state fund shall use the amount of the surplus above the risk-based capital requirements to secure the state fund against various risks inherent in or affecting the business of insurance and not accounted for or only partially measured by the risk-based capital requirements.   (3) The board may establish multiple rating tiers for classifications that take into consideration losses, premium size, and other factors relevant in placing an employer within a rating tier.

  39-71-2351. Purpose of separation of state fund liability as of July 1, 1990, and of separate funding of claims before and on or after that date. (1) The legislature has determined that it is necessary to the public welfare to make workers' compensation insurance available to all employers through the state fund as the guaranteed market. In previous years of making this insurance available, and prior to July 1, 1990, the state fund incurred an unfunded liability. The legislature determined that the most cost-effective and efficient way to provide a source of funding for and to ensure payment of the unfunded liability and the best way to administer the unfunded liability was to separate the liability of the state fund on the basis of whether a claim is for an injury resulting from an accident that occurred before July 1, 1990, or an accident that occurs on or after that date.   (2) The legislature further determines that in order to prevent the creation of a new unfunded liability with respect to claims for injuries for accidents that occur on or after July 1, 1990, certain duties of the state fund should be clarified and regulation of the state fund, effective January 1, 2016, and subject to 33-1-115 and 39-71-2375, should be under Title 33, which governs plan No. 2 and plan No. 3 insurers operating in this state.

  39-71-2352. Separate payment structure and sources for claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990, and on or after July 1, 1990 -- spending limit -- authorizing transfer of money. (1) Premiums paid to the state fund based upon wages payable before July 1, 1990, may be used only to administer and pay claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990. Premiums paid to the state fund based upon wages payable on or after July 1, 1990, may be used only to administer and pay claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occur on or after July 1, 1990.   (2) The state fund shall:   (a) determine the cost of administering and paying claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990, and separately determine the cost of administering and paying claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occur on or after July 1, 1990;   (b) keep adequate and separate accounts of the costs determined under subsection (2)(a); and   (c) fund administrative expenses and benefit payments for claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990, and claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occur on or after July 1, 1990, separately from the sources provided by law.   (3) The state fund may not spend more than $1.25 million a year to administer claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990.   (4) As used in this section, "adequately funded" means the present value of:   (a) the total cost of future benefits remaining to be paid; and   (b) the cost of administering the claims.   (5) An amount of funds in excess of the adequate funding amount established in subsection (4), based on audited financial statements adjusted for unrealized gains and losses, must be transferred to the general fund.   (6) If in any fiscal year after the old fund liability tax is terminated claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990, are not adequately funded, any amount necessary to pay claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990, must be transferred from the general fund to the account provided for in 39-71-2321.   (7) The independent actuary engaged by the state fund pursuant to 39-71-2330 shall project the unpaid claims liability for claims for injuries resulting from accidents that occurred before July 1, 1990, each fiscal year until all claims are paid.
