REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 74.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the reference to holding the Fund
"separately" is added to clarify that the Treasurer shall keep this Fund
separate from other State funds. This language is standard language used
for special funds. See, e.g., CS § 10-503(a)(3) and HG § 19-1515(d)(3).
