202 MARYLAND MANUAL by the Governor for a four-year term (Code 1957, 1966 Repl. Vol., Art. 41, sec. 192). The Administrator is responsible for the licensing of small loan companies, and must conduct investigations of these companies. The Administrator may revoke or suspend a small loan license following a formal hearing before the agency (Code 1957, 1964 Repl. Vol., Art. 68A). In addition, he may investigate suspected violations of the law, the purpose of which, expressed or implied, is for the protection of borrowers or the punishment of usurious money lenders. Installment Sales Division The Administrator is charged with the duty of licensing sales finance companies, and may suspend or revoke any license following the formal hearing before the Agency. The Administrator must also conduct investigations upon the written complaint of a buyer who alleges that any law regulating the installment transactions has been violated. In connection therewith, he may summons witnesses, take depositions, and make findings. To carry out these responsibilities, the Agency may establish rules to be followed, all of which must be reasonable and in the public interest. To implement the Uniform Small Loan Law, the Administrator on June 12, 1967, promulgated "Rules of Procedure" for practice before the Administrator of Loan Laws. These rules have been filed with the Clerk of the Court of Appeals, the Secretary of State, and the Department of Legislative Reference as required.
