HOUSE RESOLUTION 437 Offered by Representative Lang: WHEREAS, Workers' compensation self-insurance pools allow small employers with the same risk characteristics to self-insure their workers' compensation liabilities on a group basis; and WHEREAS, Illinois employers have been statutorily authorized to form self-insurance pools since 1980; and WHEREAS, The Director of Insurance has regulatory authority over workers' compensation self-insurance pools under Article V 3/4 of the Insurance Code; and WHEREAS, As part of the state's regulatory scheme over the self-insurance pools, the state has established the Group Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund; and WHEREAS, The purpose of the Group Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund is to pay workers' compensation awards to injured workers whose employers belong to insolvent workers' compensation self-insurance pool; and WHEREAS, Since October 2000, four workers' compensation self-insurance pools have been declared insolvent by the Director of the Department of Insurance; and WHEREAS, The total, unpaid claims owed by these insolvent pools are estimated by the Department of Insurance to be between $17 million and $20 million; and WHEREAS, The Group Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund is funded by means of regular assessments imposed on the self-insurance pools, and these assessments are set at a rate of 0.5% of total workers' compensation claims paid by a pool; and WHEREAS, The Director of Insurance is responsible for collecting assessments for the Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund; and WHEREAS, The Illinois Insurance Code provides that, in the event of insolvency of a workers' compensation self-insurance pool, the director may impose additional assessments on the employer members of the insolvent pool; and WHEREAS, The Illinois Insurance Code further provides that, where the balance of the Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund falls below $1 million, the director of Insurance may impose additional assessments upon the solvent self-insurance pools in order to pay the claims against the insolvent pools; and WHEREAS, During its entire history, the Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund has collected only about $800,000 in assessments; and WHEREAS, The current assets of the Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund are woefully inadequate to pay the awarded claims against the insolvent pools; and WHEREAS, The efforts of the Director of Insurance, as receiver of the insolvent pools, to collect available assets from the estates of the insolvent pools is not expected to yield sufficient revenues to pay the full amount of the awarded claims within the near future; and WHEREAS, The director's current efforts to collect assets from the employer members of the insolvent pools likewise do not appear likely to yield sufficient assets for the Insolvency Fund to pay all of the claims against the insolvent pools; and WHEREAS, The director has not, as yet, collected any additional assessments from the solvent self-insurance pools; and WHEREAS, As a result of the self-insurance pool insolvencies, some injured workers have not been able to receive the workers' compensation and medical benefits to which they are entitled under law for a period of over 6 months; and WHEREAS, Many of these injured workers are in desperate financial straits, being physically unable to earn wages for themselves and their families through gainful employment; and WHEREAS, It is therefore imperative that the Director of Insurance step up his efforts to collect additional assessments, both from the
[August 22, 2001] 10 solvent pools and the employer members of the insolvent pools; and WHEREAS, The solvent pools appear to be raising every possible legal objection to avoid becoming liable for additional assessments; and WHEREAS, It is therefore appropriate that the General Assembly take steps to monitor the efforts taken by the Director of Insurance to collect additional assessments for the Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund; therefore be it RESOLVED, BY THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, That the House of Representatives urges the Director of Insurance to make all possible efforts to collect additional assessments for the Workers' Compensation Pool Insolvency Fund; and be it further RESOLVED, That the Director of Insurance pursue all possible avenues to collect assessments, including, but not limited to, the possible filing of lawsuits against the solvent pools; and be it further RESOLVED, That within 30 days of the passage of this resolution, the Director of Insurance shall submit a report describing the efforts he has taken to collect additional assessments from the solvent workers' compensation self-insurance pools, as well as the employer members of the insolvent pools; and be it further RESOLVED, That the report shall summarize the dollar amounts collected as assessments from each pool and employer, as well as the total dollar amounts of the collected assessments, the claims paid from the Insolvency Fund, and the Insolvency Fund balance, and be it further RESOLVED, That the report shall provide detailed explanations of any failures by those assessed to pay assessments that the director has levied, the efforts taken by the director to correct these failures, reason given for failure to pay by those assessed, and a litigation plan where appropriate; and be it further RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution shall be delivered to the Governor and the Director of Insurance.

HOUSE RESOLUTION 456 Offered by Representatives Lawfer - Winters - Wait: WHEREAS, The level of crime, suicide, and bankruptcy in a community invariably increases as a casino opens its doors; and WHEREAS, Local communities have no authority to declare whether or not large scale Native American gambling should take place in their towns; and WHEREAS, Native American casinos have been known to attract organized crime; and WHEREAS, Current Native American gambling policy has corrupted the
11 [August 22, 2001] political process in some states and communities to the point that legislative initiatives with overwhelming popular support have no chance of passage due to the enormous political power of the gambling industry; and WHEREAS, Current Native American policy has become so intertwined with the corruptive effects of the gambling industry that it has lost almost all credibility; therefore, be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-SECOND GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we support the proposed federal Tribal and Local Communities Relationship Act; this Act will require that the State legislatures and governors give their consent to any new gaming compacts and uses of newly acquired land for Class III gambling before any gambling expansion can take place; and be it further RESOLVED, That we support that portion of the Act that will further limit Native American tribes so that in the future they may conduct Class III gaming on only one parcel of land per tribe; and be it further RESOLVED, That we support that portion of the Act that shall establish a Federal Native American Policy Commission to report and make legislative suggestions on the following: (1) the economic, environmental, and social impact of Indian gaming facilities on local communities; (2) the influence of non-Native American private investors on the Indian Federal Recognition Process; (3) the influence of non-Native American private investors on the establishment and operation of Indian gaming facilities; (4) the influence of organized crime on Indian gaming; (5) how to improve the living standards of Native Americans; and be it further RESOLVED, That we support that portion of the Act that directs the Federal Native American Policy Commission to impose minimum requirements for federal regulations regarding the following: (1) security in Indian casinos; (2) rules of play of games and controls of games; (3) credit and debit collection controls; (4) accounting and auditing procedures; and be it further RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be presented to the President of the United States and to each member of the Illinois congressional delegation.
