2014 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 65.2-902 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 65.2-902. Failure to make required reports; civil penalty.
A. Any employer, insurance carrier, self-insurer, group
self-insurance association, or third party administrator who fails to make
any report required by the Commission pursuant to this title shall be assessed
a civil penalty of not more than $500 for each failure. If the Commission
determines that any such failure is willful, it shall assess a civil penalty of
not less than $500 and not more than $5,000. The civil penalty herein provided
may be assessed by the Commission in an open hearing with the right of review
and appeal as in other cases. In the event the employer has transmitted the
report to the insurance carrier or third party administrator for transmission
to the Commission, the insurance carrier or third party administrator failing
to transmit the report shall be liable for the civil penalty.
B. Any civil penalty assessed pursuant to this section shall
be divided equally between and paid into the administrative fund
established in Chapter 10 (§ 65.2-1000 et seq.) and the Uninsured
Employer's Fund established in Chapter 12 (§ 65.2-1200 et seq.) of this
title. The Commission may add the costs of collection of such civil
penalty to the aggregate civil penalty owed, in which event such costs shall be
paid into the administrative fund established in Chapter 10 (§ 65.2-1000 et
seq.).
