Created in 1982, the Subsequent Injury Fund
Board replaced the Workmen's Compensation
Fund Board (Chapter 142, Acts of 1982). The
Board supervises the operation and administration
of the Subsequent Injury Fund, which provides
insurance coverage for workmen's compensation
claimants whose injury, combined with a pre-exist-
ing health condition, entitles them to certain bene-
fits.
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. The Board
appoints the Director (Code Labor and Employ-
ment Article, secs. 10-201 through 10-219).

Created in 1959, the Maryland Tax Court per-
forms the judicial and quasi-judicial duties of the
former State Tax Commission (Chapter 757, Acts
of 1959). The Tax Court hears appeals from the
decisions of any State agency or assessing or taxing
authority 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
Tax-General Article, Title 3 and sec. 13-1101; Tax-
Property Article, sec. 14-512; Art. 48A, sec. 641).
It also hears appeals from allowances or disallow-
ances of claims for refunds of taxes, and from can-
cellations of Motor Vehicle Fuel Dealers licenses
(Code Tax-General Article, sec. 13-510; Tax-Prop-
erty Article, secs. 9-330,14-512).
The Tax Court consists of five judges appointed by
the Governor for six-year terms. One judge must
reside on the Eastern Shore, one on the Western
Shore, and one in Baltimore City. Two judges are
residents of the State at large. No more than three
judges may be of the same political party, and all must
be taxpayers and qualified voters of Maryland. At least
two must be members of the Maryland Bar, and the
Governor designates one of these as Chief Judge.
