91A.11 WAGE CLAIMS BROUGHT UNDER RECIPROCITY.
1. The commissioner may enter into reciprocal agreements with the
labor department or corresponding agency of any other state or its
representatives for the collection in such other states of claims or
judgments for wages and other demands based upon claims assigned to
the commissioner.
2. The commissioner may, to the extent provided for by any
reciprocal agreement entered into by law or with an agency of another
state as provided in this section, maintain actions in the courts of
such other state to the extent permitted by the laws of that state
for the collection of claims for wages, judgments and other demands
and may assign such claims, judgments and demands to the labor
department or agency of such other state for collection to the extent
that such an assignment may be permitted or provided for by the laws
of such state or by reciprocal agreement.
3. The commissioner may, upon the written consent of the labor
department or other corresponding agency of any other state or its
representatives, maintain actions in the courts of this state upon
assigned claims for wages, judgments and demands arising in such
other state in the same manner and to the same extent that such
actions by the commissioner are authorized when arising in this
state. However, such actions may be maintained only in cases in which
such other state by law or reciprocal agreement extends a like comity
to cases arising in this state. Section History: Early Form
