LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 33

As to the general authority of the Secretary of
Licensing and Regulation, see Art. 41, § 221 et
seq. of the Code.

2-106. SEAL.

THE BANK COMMISSIONER SHALL ADOPT AS OFFICIAL SEAL. A
DESCRIPTION AND IMPRESSION OF THE SEAL SHALL BE FILED WITH
THE SECRETARY OF STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as Art.
11, § 3.

The present requirement that the seal "shall
continue the seal of the said department" is
deleted as obsolete. This provision was first
enacted in 1910 and, even at that time, it was
unclear to what "said department" referred. At
that time, the Bank Commissioner's office was
part of the State Treasurer's office; it is now
part of the Department of Licensing and
Regulation. In any event, no substantive change
results from the deletion.

The only other changes are in style.

2-107. ANNUAL REPORT TO GOVERNOR; RECOMMENDATIONS ON
LEGISLATION.

    (A) REPORT.

ON JUNE 30 OF EACH YEAR, THE BANK COMMISSIONER SHALL
REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR ON THE OPERATIONS OF THE BANK
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE.

THE BANK COMMISSIONER MAY SUGGEST TO THE SECRETARY OF

LICENSING AND REGULATION AMENDMENTS AND, AS TO THE LAWS THAT
THE BANK COMMISSIONER ADMINISTERS. ON AMENDMENTS THAT THE
BANK COMMISSIONER CONSIDERS DESIRABLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from Art. 11, § 26.

Present references to "this article" (i.e., Art.
11) are changed to "the laws that the Bank
Commissioner administers", since the Financial
Institutions Article governs other matters as

well.

The only other changes are in style.
2-108. FEES FOR CERTIFIED COPIES.

PROVIDING A CERTIFIED COPY OF A DOCUMENT, THE BANK
