LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 49

organization.

With respect to stipulations or conditions
which may be included in a cease and desist
order, see §13-402(b).

The Commission notes that the general
injunctive power granted by §13—406 contains
no standards such as those required by
subsection (c) of this section (e.g.,
"to...prevent irreparable harm") for bringing
an action; also, while the provisions of this
section permit an action brought by the
Division, §13—406 permits only action brought
by the Attorney General. Conforming
legislation may be appropriate.

13-404. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES.

(A)   SUBMISSION TO ARBITRATION.

ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MARYLAND UNIFORM
ARBITRATION ACT.

(B)   ARBITRATION PROGRAMS.

(1)    THE DIVISION MAY ADMINISTER A PROGRAM OF
VOLUNTARY ARBITRATION OF CONSUMER DISPUTES, INCLUDING:

(i) THE RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING OF VOLUNTEER
ARBITRATORS; AND

(ii) THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC AND BUSINESS
COMMUNITY AS TO THE BENEFITS OF ARBITRATION.

(2)   THE DIVISION SHALL PROVIDE CLERICAL HELP
AND OFFICE SPACE FOR ARBITRATION TRIBUNALS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as

presently set out in Title 3, Subtitle 2, of
the Courts Article.
