The Division became an independent agency by Chapter 106, Acts of 1878. It is under the direction of the Insurance Commissioner, who is appointed by the Secretary of Licensing and Regulation with the approval of the Governor and serves at his pleasure (Code 1957, 1968 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, and brokers to do business in the State. The Division examines all applicants for licenses as agents, brokers, approved attorneys and advisors for fire, casualty, life, accident, health, title, and other in- surance, and annuities, fixed and variable as well. It conducts periodic examinations 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, health, fire, casualty, title and other insur- ance offered for sale in the State by authorized companies; authorizes rating bureaus and advisory organizations; and approves or disap- proves the rates for most kinds and lines of insurance other than life, accident and health insurance, filed by rating bureaus on behalf of their members and subscribers, or by individual insurers. The Commissioner also prepares and delivers an annual report to the Secretary of Licensing and Regulation for review and transmittal to the Governor and the members of the General Assembly (Code 1957, 1968 Repl.
