SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Sections 76 and 77 of Article 101 of the Annotated Code of
Maryland, (1957 Edition), title "Workmen's Compensation", sub-
title "State Accident Fund", be and they are hereby repealed; and
new Sections 76 and 77 are hereby enacted, to stand in the place

76.

Every employer subject to the operation and effect of this Arti-
cle, who shall insure in the State Accident Fund, shall every four
months, or at such other intervals as the Commissioners of the
State Accident Fund shall direct, submit a report of his payroll to
the Commissioners of the State Accident Fund, according to the
regulations and requirements prescribed by the Commissioners.
The payroll records of all employers insured in the State Accident
Fund shall be open at all times to inspection by the said Com-
missioners and their authorized employees.

Upon the failure of an employer to comply with the requirements
of the preceding paragraph of this Section, the Commissioners or
Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of the State Accident
Fund may cancel the policy of insurance of any such employer, such
cancellation to be effective upon the expiration of at least thirty
days after notice of intention to cancel such policy, on a date spec-
ified in such notice, shall be filed in the office of the Workmen's
Compensation Commission and also served on the employer. Such
notice shall be served on the employer by delivering it to him or by
sending it by mail, by registered letter, addressed to the employer
at his or its last known place of residence; provided, that if the em-
ployer be a partnership then such notice may be so given to any
one of the partners, and if the employer be a corporation then the
notice may be given to any agent or officer of the corporation upon
whom legal process may be served. When an employer receives
notice from the State Accident Fund in accordance with the provi-
sions of this Sub-section that a policy for Workmen's Compensa-
tion Insurance issued to such employer will be cancelled upon the
expiration of the time stated in the notice, it shall be the duty of
the employer, immediately thereafter, to secure compensation for
his employees in accordance with one of the ways set forth in Para-
graph 16 of this Article which will be in force on the date the above
mentioned cancellation becomes effective.

Any employer who shall, with fraudulent intent, misrepresent
to the Commissioners of the State Accident Fund the amount of
payroll upon which the premium under this Article is based, shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be subject
to a fine of not more than One Thousand Dollars or imprisonment of
not more than ninety days, or both.
