The Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund Board, established by
Chapter 836, Acts of 1957, consists of the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles and the Insurance Commissioner, ex officio; four representa-
tives of insurers appointed annually in July by the Insurance Commis-
sioner for one-year terms, and four members representing the public
appointed annually by the Governor by Chapter 657, Acts of 1965.
The Board administers the Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund,
which was created from the following sources: (1) an $8.00 fee paid
on. April I or May 1, 1958, for each uninsured motor vehicle by the
person registering the vehicle; (2) a $1.00 registration fee paid on
April I or May 1, 1958, for each insured motor vehicle by the person
registering the vehicle; (3) 0.5% of the net direct written premiums
of each insurer for the year 1958.
Beginning on. December 30 of each year, the Board is to estimate
annually the amount necessary to enable the Fund to pay claims
against it for the following year. If there is a deficiency, the Board
is to make it up as follows: (1) the insurers are to pay a sum not
greater than 2% of the aggregate net direct written premiums of all
insurers during the preceding calendar year; (2) persons registering
uninsured motor vehicles are to pay a fee arrived at by dividing the
deficiency by the number of uninsured motor vehicles registered during
the preceding registration year. Effective June 1, 1965, the Board may
set the uninsured motorist fee at its discretion. The uninsured assess-
ment for the registration year of 1964-1966 resulted in a $70.00 fee
assessed against uninsured motorists.
Qualified persons who have suffered property damage or personal
injury in motor vehicle accidents involving uninsured motorists and
who have recovered judgments of more than $100, but who have been
unable to collect the sums due, may apply to the Court for an order
directing payment from the Fund. The maximum amounts payable
from the Fund after April 1, 1965, are (1) $15,000 for injury or death
of one person in any one accident; (2) $30,000 for injury or death of
more than one person in any one accident; and (3) $5,000 for damage
to property in any one accident less $100 deductible per claim. Under
certain circumstances, claims may be settled without court action.
Persons who have failed to pay judgments may not hold a driver's
license or register a car in Maryland until they have reimbursed the
Fund with interest (Code 1957, Art. 66%, sec. 174).
