The State Accident Fund, originally a part of the State Industrial
Accident Commission, was established as a separate agency by Chap-
ter 504, Acts of 1941. It is directed by a five-man Board, appointed
by the Governor for five-year terms, one term expiring each year.
The Board elects its officers annually. It administers the 'State Acci-
dent Fund, which is the State's Workmen's Compensation Insurance
Carrier. Through the Fund, employers may carry insurance for the
payment of claims that may arise from accidents and injuries to their
employees as allowed under the Workmen's Compensation Law. All
expenses of the agency are paid out of income from premiums paid
and interest on Fund investment. The State Treasury is reimbursed
for its advance of General Funds (Code 1967, Art. 101, sees. 70-71).
