Sec. 4. (a) Subject to the approval of the worker's compensation board, any employer may enter into or continue any agreement with the employer's employees to provide a system of compensation, benefit, or insurance in lieu of the compensation and insurance provided by IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6. No such substitute system shall be approved unless it confers benefits upon injured employees and their dependents at least equivalent to the benefits provided by IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6, nor if it requires contributions from the employees unless it confers benefits in addition to those provided under IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6 at least commensurate with such contributions.
(b) Such substitute system may be terminated by the worker's compensation board on reasonable notice and hearing to the interested parties if it appears that the same is not fairly administered, its operation discloses latent defects threatening its solvency, or if for any substantial reason it fails to accomplish the purpose of IC 22-3-2 through IC 22-3-6. In this case the board shall determine upon the proper distribution of all remaining assets, if any, subject to the right of any party in interest to take an appeal to the court of appeals.
