Section 22-35-4 Alabama Underground and Aboveground Storage Tank Trust Fund. There is
hereby created the Alabama Underground and Aboveground Storage Tank Trust Fund, hereinafter
referred to as the "fund," to be administered by the Secretary-Treasurer of the
Retirement Systems of Alabama. The fund shall be used by the department as a revolving fund

of bad faith as such terms are used in general insurance law. Further, in no event shall combined
claims against the fund for payment of response actions and third-party claims exceed the
per occurrence indemnification limit set by the commission. Under no circumstances shall...
