The Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund Board, established by
Chapter 836, Acts of 1957, consists of the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles and the Insurance Commissioner, ex officio; and four repre-
sentatives of insurers appointed annually in July by the Insurance
Commissioner for one-year terms.

The Board administers the Unsatisfied Claim and Judgment Fund,
which was created from the following sources: (1) an $8.00 fee paid
on April 1 or May 1, 1958, for each uninsured motor vehicle by the
person registering the vehicle; (2) a $1.00 registration fee paid on
April 1 or May 1, 1958, for each insured motor vehicle by the person
registering the vehicle; (3) 0.5% of the net direct written premiums
of each insurer for the year 1958.

Beginning on December 30, 1969, the Commissioner of Motor Ve-
hicles is to estimate annually the amount necessary to enable the Fund
to pay claims against it for the following year. If there is a deficiency,
he is to make it up as follows: (1) the insurers are to pay a sum not
greater than 0.5% of the aggregate net direct written premiums of all
insurers during the preceding calendar year, or 10% of the estimated
deficiency, whichever is smaller; (2) persons registering uninsured
motor vehicles are to pay a fee arrived at by dividing the remaining
deficiency by the number of uninsured motor vehicles registered during
the preceding registration year. The deficiency assessment for the
registration year of 1963 resulted in a $70.00 fee assessed against
uninsured motorists.

Qualified persons who have suffered property damage or personal
injury in motor vehicle accidents involving uninsured motorists and
who have recovered judgments of more than $100, but who have been
unable to collect the sums due, may apply to the Court for an order
directing payment from the Fund. The maximum amounts payable
from the Fund are (1) $10,000 for injury or death of one person in
any one accident; (2) $20,000 for injury or death of more than one
person in any one accident; and (3) $5,000 for damage to property in
any one accident less $100 deductible per claim. Persons who have failed
to pay judgments may not hold a driver's license or register a car in
Maryland until they have reimbursed the Fund with interest (Code
1957, Art. 66 1/2, sec. 174).
