(2) Allows the Office of Workers’ Compensation to increase the reimbursement percentage of activities from 66.6% to 100%. This ensures that the inspection and safety functions of the Division of Industrial Affairs are fully covered as they are partially covered right now. Insurance carriers pay the assessment imposed by this section. The annual budget process provides caps or spend authorities on these appropriated special funds on an annual basis.
