This bill repeals statutes that outline assessments, or fees, set by the Insurance Commissioner to cover the necessary costs of administration and supervision of group-funded pools and group-funded workers' compensation pools.  The Insurance Department has long determined this assessment is not necessary.  Currently there is $40,528 in the group-funded pools and $112,719 in the group-funded workers' compensation pools fee fund that have been sitting idle. This bill would discontinue these two fund pools and return the money back to the entities that paid into this fund.
