§  82.  Powers  and  duties.    1.  The commissioners shall appoint an   executive director, a general attorney, a secretary for  terms  of  nine   years  each.  Vacancies  in  such  positions  shall  be  filled  for the   unexpired terms. The commissioners shall also appoint, and  may  remove,   four   deputy   executive   directors  and  an  actuary.  The  foregoing   appointments shall be in the exempt class  of  the  civil  service.  The   actuary  shall  be responsible directly to the commissioners. They shall   also appoint, and may remove, such number of assistant directors as  may   in  their judgment be required for the proper and expeditious conduct of   the business of the fund. In the absence of the executive  director  the   deputy  executive  director  named for that purpose by the commissioners   shall perform the duties of the executive  director.  The  commissioners   shall  prescribe  the duties of all administrative officers of the fund,   except as they may otherwise be prescribed by law.2. The executive director shall,  subject  to  the  direction  of  the   commissioners,  be  responsible  for  the direction and operation of the   state fund. He shall appoint, and may remove, all officers and employees   of  the  fund,  other  than  those  required  to  be  appointed  by  the   commissioners,  and  shall  prescribe  their  duties.  He may within the   limits of the budget fix salaries, and may  promote  employees  and  may   transfer  employees from their positions to other positions in the fund,   and may abolish or consolidate positions subject to  the  civil  service   law and rules, and all removals shall be made pursuant to such rules and   laws,  it  being the purpose and intent of this provision that the state   fund shall  at  all  times  be  administered  with  due  regard  to  the   requirements  of  its  business  affairs  and  its obligations under its   contracts and policies in force.3. The commissioners shall consider at all times the condition of  the   fund  and  examine  into its reserves, investments and all other matters   relating to its administration. They shall have access  to  all  records   and  books  of  account,  and may require the personal appearance before   them and require information from any officer or employee of  the  fund.   Information obtained by them from officers and employees of the fund and   from  its  records  with respect to the business affairs of any employer   insured  in  the  fund  shall  be  deemed  confidential  unless  ordered   disclosed by order of the commissioners.4.  The executive director shall submit to the commissioners an annual   estimate of the amounts required for salaries and  for  the  maintenance   and  expenses  of  the  fund  for  the  next  ensuing calendar year. The   commissioners shall thereupon consider such estimate, and may modify  or   approve such estimate. There may not be expended for the state insurance   fund  more  than  the  total  amount specified in such budget, except as   authorized by the commissioner.5. All statistics and other documentary matter filed  with  the  state   fund,  except  where  the further retention of such statistics and other   documentary matter is made necessary by  requirements  of  law,  may  be   destroyed  by  the  commissioners after the expiration of six years from   the filing thereof.
