such policy of insurance until such company or association shall first obtain
from the Insurance Commissioner of Maryland a license of authority for
the purpose which said Commissioner of Insurance shall have full power
and authority from time to time to determine the adequacy of its or their
premium rates for carrying compensation insurance as provided in this
law, and until the form of such policy shall have been approved by the
State Industrial Accident Commission; and said Insurance Commissioner
shall have full power and authority to require said insurance companies to
establish and maintain adequate rates to cover respective risks to which their
policies are applicable under the provisions of this Article. Any insurance
company or employer carrying his own insurance, desiring to do compensa-
tion insurance in this State, shall be required to keep and maintain a local
office in charge of a competent person who shall handle all the compensation
work for said insurance company or self-insurer. Any person, firm, cor-
poration, insurance company, association and self-insurer violating the
provisions of this Section shall be subject to a fine of not less than $500
nor more than $1,000, for each offense, and upon conviction thereof the
Insurance Commissioner may revoke the license of authority for doing busi-
ness in this State of such person, corporation, firm, insurance company and
association and the State Industrial Accident Commission may prohibit
such self-insurer from carrying its own insurance.

An. Code, sec. 30. 1914, ch. 800, sec. 30.

30. Every policy of insurance covering the liability of the employer
for compensation issued by a stock company or by a mutual association
authorized to transact workmen's compensation insurance in this State,
shall contain a provision setting forth the right of the Commission to enforce
in the name of the State of Maryland for the benefit of the person entitled
to the compensation insured by the policy either by filing a separate appli-
cation or by making the insurance carrier a party to the original application,
the liability of the insurance carrier in whole or in part for the payment
of such compensation; provided, however, that payment in whole or in part
of such compensation by either the employer or the insurance carrier shall
to the extent thereof be a bar to the recovery against the other of the amount
so paid.

Every such policy shall contain a provision that, as between the employe
and the insurance carrier, the notice to or knowledge of the occurrence of the
injury on the part of the employer shall be deemed notice or knowledge, as
the case may be, on the part of the insurance carrier; the jurisdiction of the
employer shall, for the purpose of this article, be jurisdiction of the insur-
ance carrier and that the insurance carrier shall in all things be bound by
and subject to the orders, findings, decisions or awards rendered against the
employer for the payment of compensation under the provisions of this
article.
