Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Workers' comp payments to claimants

The law pays $1,167,500 in total from the Workers' Compensation Claims Revolving Fund. It lists one-time payments to trust accounts for named workers: Greg Mosley ($400,000), Stewart Craig ($162,500), Kenneth Cobb ($20,000), Todd Rasmussen ($300,000), Anthony O. Dix ($110,000), Tina Vaughn ($125,000), and Tiffany Colvin/Mills ($50,000). Payments go through Agency 65, Program 593, after court-approved settlements or judgments.

One-time payments for settled claims

The law pays $51,791.88 to Rodney Gerald Hoelscher and $289,360.48 to Kevin and Teresa McAcy for a line-of-duty claim for Kyle McAcy. It also pays $354,456.23 to the Fiedler Law Firm trust account for Kurt Von Minden. The money comes from the General Fund through Agency 65 (Programs 536 and 592). The Director of Administrative Services draws warrants after proper vouchers are presented. No warrant is delivered until each person files a full receipt and release of the State.

State writes off uncollectible debts

The law lets state agencies remove certain receivables approved by the State Claims Board. Approved amounts include about $1.03 million for Health and Human Services and about $1.71 million for the Department of Labor, plus smaller amounts for other agencies. This changes agency accounting records and collection efforts. It does not send money to households.
