The Subsequent Injury Fund insures workmen's
compensation claimants whose injury, combined
with a pre-existing health condition, entitles them
to certain benefits. The Subsequent Injury Fund
Board supervises the Fund.
The Board's function was first assumed by the
Workmen's Compensation Commission about
1962. In 1975, the Workmen's Compensation
Fund Board succeeded it and, in turn, was replaced
by the Subsequent Injury Fund Board in 1982
(Chapter 142, Acts of 1982).
The Board consists of three members appointed
to four-year terms by the Governor with Senate
advice and consent. The Board names the Director
(Code Labor and Employment Article, sees. 10-
201 through 10-219).

The Maryland Tax Court hears appeals from the
decisions of any State agency or assessing or taxing
authority that affect 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). The Court also hears appeals from allowances
or disallowances of claims for refunds of taxes, and
from cancellations of Motor Vehicle Fuel Dealers
licenses (Code Tax-General Article, sec. 13-510;
Tax-Property Article, sees. 9-330, 14-512).

Dudes of the Court began in 1878, when they
were assigned to the State Tax Commissioner. By
1914 they had devolved to the State Tax Commis-
sion, and in 1959 to the Maryland Tax Court
(Chapter 757, Acts of 1959).
The 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 must be
residents of the State at large. No more than three
may be of the same political party All must be

two must be members of the Maryland Bar. The
