Section 33

(1985 Replacement Volume and 1988 Supplement)
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article 65 - Militia
16.
(a) The Adjutant General shall take out and thereafter
maintain a policy or policies of insurance with the State
Accident Fund or with any stock corporation or mutual association
authorized to transact the business of workmen's compensation
insurance in this State, to secure compensation under the
Workmen's Compensation Law, ARTICLE 101 OF THE CODE, to all
officers and enlisted men of the organized militia of the State
of Maryland. However, if and so long as provision equal to or
better than that given under the terms of this article is made by
the federal government for an officer or enlisted man or employee
of the Military Department of Maryland injured in the course of
employment, such officer, enlisted man or employee is not
entitled to the benefits of this section. Should any benefits
provided by the federal government be less than those provided by
Article 101, the State and its insurer shall furnish the
additional benefit in order to make up the difference between the
benefit provided by the federal government and the similar
benefit required by Article 101. Such insurance shall cover only
those incidents occurring after July 1, 1979 on State active
duty. State active duty is defined as that period of time for
which an employee is ordered to active military duty in the
organized militia of the State of Maryland by order of the
Governor for service in time of civil disorder, natural disaster,
labor disorders, or activities requiring support of the State
militia.
