The administrator of workers' compensation, with the advice and
				consent of the bureau of workers' compensation board of directors, has
				authority to determine and levy against self-insuring employers amounts to be
				paid to support the safety and hygiene fund, the administrative cost fund, the
				portion of the surplus fund that is mandatory and the portion of the surplus
				fund used for claims reimbursement for self-insuring employers under division
				(H) of section 4123.512 of the Revised Code,
				pursuant to sections 4121.12,
				4121.37,
				4121.66,
				4123.34,
				4123.342, and
				4123.35 of the Revised Code in
				conjunction with rule
				4123-19-01 of the Administrative
				Code. The administrator hereby sets the self-insuring employer assessments to
				be effective July 1, 2024, for the period July 1,
				2024, to
				June 30, 2025, payable in two equal remittances by February 28,
				2025, and
				August 31, 2025, as follows:
(A) The assessments shall be on the basis of
			 the paid compensation attributable to the individual self-insuring employer as
			 a fraction of the total amount of paid compensation for the previous calendar
			 year attributable to all amenable self-insuring employers.
(B) Paid compensation means all amounts paid
			 by a self-insuring employer for living maintenance benefits, all amounts for
			 compensation paid pursuant to sections
			 4121.63,
			 4121.67,
			 4123.56,
			 4123.57,
			 4123.58,
			 4123.59,
			 4123.60 and
			 4123.64 of the Revised Code, all
			 amounts paid as wages in lieu of such compensation, all amounts paid in lieu of
			 such compensation under a non-occupational accident and sickness program fully
			 funded by the self-insuring employer, and all amounts paid by a self-insuring
			 employer for a violation of a specific safety standard pursuant to section 35
			 of article II, Ohio Constitution and section
			 4121.47 of the Revised Code. Any
			 reimbursement received from the surplus fund pursuant to section
			 4123.512 of the Revised Code by
			 a self-insuring employer for any such payments or compensation paid shall be
			 applied to reduce the amount of paid compensation reported in the year in which
			 the reimbursement is made. Any amount recovered by the self-insuring employer
			 under section 4123.931 of the Revised Code and
			 any amount that is determined not to have been payable to a claimant in any
			 final administrative or judicial proceeding shall be deducted, in the year
			 collected, from the amount of paid compensation reported.
(C) The assessments shall be computed for all
			 self-insuring employers operating in Ohio by multiplying the following rates by
			 the individual self-insuring employer's paid compensation for calendar year
			 2023:
(1) Safety and hygiene fund:
			 0.0031.
(2) Administrative cost fund, BWC:
			 0.0795.
