No. 54

(House Joint Resolution No. 82)

A House Joint Resolution concerning

Automobile Insurance Rates

FOR the purpose of requesting that the [[Governor create
a commission to]] Insurance Commissioner study
present insurance rating practices, and to forward
recommendations for the purpose of making rates more
equitable.

Automobile insurance rates are often based on
criteria over which an automobile owner has no effective
control. Examples of such criteria might be geographical
location, operator and age. The use of such criteria by
insurance companies could lead to unreasonable, or even
abusive discrimination between different groups of
consumers; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, That
the [[Governor of this State be]] Insurance Commissioner
is requested to [[form a commission which shall]] review
automobile rating practices in this State and report to
the [[Governor and the]] General Assembly [[as to its]]
his findings; and be it further

RESOLVED, That [[this Commission be]] the

Commissioner is requested to make specific

recommendations as to how the present insurance rating
system may be made more equitable; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be
forwarded to the [[Governor]] Insurance Commissioner; and
be it further

RESOLVED, That the Insurance Commissioner report his
findings to the General Assembly by July 1, 1977.

Approved May 4, 1976.
