 terly financial statements on a calendar year basis. In  no  case  shall

 of  the  earned  premiums  for  such insurance for that year. In no case
 shall the amount of administrative expenditures authorized for the disa-
 bility benefits fund for an entire year exceed twenty-five per centum of
 the premiums earned by that fund for such insurance for that  year.  [No
 payment,  expenditure or refund out of the state insurance fund shall be
 subject to pre-audit by the department of audit and control as  provided
 by  section  one  hundred eleven of the state finance law.] All appoint-
 ments to positions in the state insurance fund shall be made subject  to
 civil service requirements.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
