Created in 1982, the Subsequent Injury Fund
Board replaced the Workmen's Compensation
Fund Board, which was abolished the same year
(Chapter 142, Acts of 1982). The Board super-
vises the operation and administration of the Sub-
sequent Injury Fund. It also appoints the Direc-
tor of the Fund.

By October 1st of each year the Board reports
to the Governor.

The Board consists of three members appointed
to four-year terms by the Governor with Senate
advice and consent. One member each represents
labor, management, and the public. Members of
the former Workmen's Compensation Fund Board
serve as initial members of the Subsequent Injury
Fund Board for the balance of the terms to which
they have been appointed.

ment of Assessments and Taxation. The Tax

The Maryland Tax Court hears appeals from
the decision, determination, or order of any agen-
cy or any assessing or taxing authority of the
State that affects the valuation, assessment, or
classification of property, the levy of a tax, or the
application for an abatement or reduction of any
assessment or tax or exemption therefrom (Code
1957, Art. 41, sec. 318; Art. 81, secs. 143A, 224
to 231, 256, 258, 259, 309; from allowances. Art.
81, sec. 214C, 217; or disallowances, Art. 81,
secs. 214C, 217, 310e; of claims for refunds of
taxes, and from cancellations of Motor Vehicle
Fuel Dealers licenses, Art. 56, sec. 142a).

The Tax Court consists of five judges
appointed by the Governor for terms of six years.
One is required to be a resident of the Eastern
Shore, one a resident of the Western Shore, and
one a resident of Baltimore City. The other two
are to be residents of the State at large. Not more
than three judges may be of the same political
party, and each is required to be a taxpayer and a
qualified voter of Maryland. At least two must be
members of the Bar of the State of Maryland,
and the Governor designates one of these as
Chief Judge.
