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 1957, Art. 101, sec.
66).

|
Independent Agencies/477
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
1957, Art. 41, sec. 318; Art. 81, secs. 143A, 224
to 231, 256, 258, 259, 309). It also hears appeals
from allowances or disallowances of claims for re-
funds of taxes, and from cancellations of Motor
Vehicle Fuel Dealers licenses (Code 1957, Art. 81,
secs. 214C, 217, 310(e); Art. 56, sec. 142(a)).
The Tax Court consists of five judges appointed
by the Governor for six-year terms. One judge must
be an Eastern Shore resident, one a Western Shore
resident, and one a Baltimore City resident. The
other two are residents of the State at large. No
more than three judges may be of the same political
part); 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.
