It is under the direction of the Insurance Commissioner, who is appointed by the Governor for a term of four years (Code 1957, 1964 Repl. Vol., Art. 48A, sec. 15). The Commissioner sees that all the laws of the State governing insurance companies or relating to the business of insurance are faithfully executed. The Commissioner authorizes and licenses insurance companies, agents, solicitors, brokers, and brokers' solicitors to do business in the State. The Department examines all applicants for licenses as agents and solicitors for fire and casualty lines and for some classes of life and accident and health insurance as well. It conducts periodic exami- nations of all companies organized under the laws of Maryland and from time to time participates in the examination of nonresident companies doing business in the State. The Commissioner approves all policies for life, accident and sickness insurance offered for sale in the State by authorized companies; licenses rating bureaus and advisory organizations; and approves or disapproves the rates for most classes of property insurance filed by rating bureaus on behalf of their members and subscribers. |
