1. For the purpose of providing funds for the administration of the workers' compensation division, the division director shall impose an annual administrative surcharge upon every workers' compensation deductible plan policyholder insured pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. An annual administrative surcharge imposed pursuant to this section shall apply to all workers' compensation policies with a deductible option that are written or renewed on or after January 1, 2004.

The annual administrative surcharge assessed shall be set at the same rate as the premium tax imposed by section 287.690 for each calendar year.

3. All workers' compensation insurers shall be notified by the division of workers' compensation within ten days of the determination of the administrative surcharge percentage to be imposed for, and paid in, the following calendar year.
