self—insurance.

Certain forms of private insurance have very high
deductibles, which are covered by self—insurance. When
losses are suffered by special fund agencies covered by
private insurance having a very high deductible, they
seem to be entitled to payment from the fund for losses
in excess of $1,000 as provided by Section 31 of Article
95 up to the amount of the less or up to the amount of
the deductible:

Problem

The State Self—Insurance Trust Fund consists largely
of General Fund appropriations. Should any portion of
the General Funds be utilized to pay the losses of
Special Fund Agencies?

Now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, That
the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House
of Delegates organize a study of the payment of losses
incurred by Special Fund Agencies from the Self-Insurance
Trust Fund either by a committee organized specifically
for that purpose or by a standing committee of either the
Senate or the House of Delegates.

Approved May 4, 1976.
