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 for carrying
out the purposes of this chapter. The fund is not an insurance company and the laws relating
to the conduct of business in this state by an insurance company do not apply to the fund.

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...
