Ch. 22

(II) SHALL CONFORM WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF COMPREHENSIVE LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICIES AVAILABLE IN
THE PRIVATE MARKET.

(D) DEFENSE OF SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY.

(1)         A COUNTY BOARD MAY RAISE THE DEFENSE OF
SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY TO ANY AMOUNT CLAIMED ABOVE THE LIMIT OF
ITS INSURANCE POLICY OR, IF SELF-INSURED, ABOVE $100,000.

(2)          A COUNTY BOARD MAY NOT RAISE THE DEFENSE OF
SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY TO ANY CLAIM OF $100,000 OR LESS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as Art.
77, §56B.

In subsection (a) of this section, the present
reference to the "Board of School Commissioners
of Baltimore City" is deleted in light of the
definition of "county board" in §1—101 of this
article.

In subsection (d) (2) of this section, the phrase
"$100,000 or less" is substituted for "less than
$100,000" to provide for a claim of exactly
$100,000.

The only other changes are in style.
