State Insurance Department of Maryland an undertaking thus to
become surety.

(c)    No guaranteed bail bond certificate shall be delivered or is-
sued for delivery in this State unless the form has been filed with

30 days after the form has been filed, it shall be deemed approved

ance Commissioner disapproving the form or withdrawing previous
approval shall state the grounds therefor.

bail or other bond in an amount not to exceed $200 as a bail bond,
to guarantee the appearance of the person in any court in this State,
including all municipal courts in this State, People's Court and Trial
Magistrates, at a time required by the court, when the person is
arrested for violation of any motor vehicle law of this State or any
motor vehicle ordinance of any county or municipality in this State
except for the offense of driving in an intoxicated condition or while
driving ability is impaired by the consumption of alcohol, under-
taking to drive a vehicle while under the influence of any narcotic
drug or any other drug to a degree which renders the person in-
capable of safely driving a vehicle, or for any felony committed
prior to the date of expiration shown on the guaranteed bail bond
certificates. Any guaranteed bail bond certificate so posted as bail
bond, in any court in this State shall be subject to the forfeiture
and enforcement provisions with respect to bail bonds in criminal
cases as otherwise provided by law or as hereafter may be provided
by law, and any guaranteed bail bond certificate posted as a bail
bond in any municipal court of this State shall be subject to the
