to the Governor and attests his signature on all public documents,
commissions, warrants, proclamations, and such other public papers
as may be required. He is custodian of the Great Seal of the State
(Code 1957, Art. 41, sec. 45). The Secretary of State certifies the
results of all referenda and constitutional amendments submitted to
the electorate. He keeps and publishes the results of elections held in
the State and keeps the records of the State Board of Canvassers, of
which he is a member (Code 1957, Art. 33, secs. 142-43, 172). His
office keeps a record of all commissions issued and all appointments
made by the Governor (Code 1957, Art. 41, secs. 86-88); a record of
trademarks and trade names used within the State (Code 1957, Art.
41, secs. 90-103); a record of all Trading Stamp Companies doing
business in Maryland (Chap. 650, Acts 1959); and a registry of all
legislative agents and counsels, the legislative subjects in which they
are interested, and the amounts they receive and expend for such
activity (Code 1957, Art. 40, secs. 5-14). The Secretary of State is
also the legally designated attorney of nonresident drivers, aviators,
and aircraft owners involved in accidents in Maryland. All processes
or warrants served upon him in this connection have the same legal
effect as though they were served upon the individual (Code 1957,
Art. 66 1/2, sec. 115; Art. 75, secs. 76-78). All administrative regulations
adopted by any State officer or department must be filed with the
Secretary of State, who is responsible for publishing such regulations
and supplements thereto (Code 1957, Art. 41, sec. 9). By Chapter 225,
Acts of 1963, the Secretary of State must keep a record of true and
itemized statements or reports in writing setting forth in detail all
contributions and expenditures incurred by every treasurer, political
agent, or candidate for nomination or election to a State-wide public
office.
