The State Accident Fund, originally a part of the State Industrial
Accident Commission, was established as a separate agency in 1941.
The State Accident Fund is under the direction of a board of five
members appointed by the Governor for a term of five years, the term
of one member expiring each year (Code 1951, Art. 101, sees. 69, 70).
The Board annually elects its officers. The Board is empowered to
make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to administer
the Accident Fund. The State Accident Fund is the State's Work-
men's Compensation Insurance Carrier. Through the fund employers
may carry insurance for the payment of claims which may arise
from accidents and injuries to the 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 all expenditures.
