Ch. 11                                    LAWS OF MARYLAND

9.

No provision of this article shall apply with respect to:

(1)  Fraternal benefit societies, except as stated in
Subtitle 19 (Fraternal Benefit Societies).

(2)  Nonprofit health service plans, except as [stated
in Subtitle 20 (Nonprofit Health Service Plans)] OTHERWISE
PROVIDED IN THIS ARTICLE.

(3)  Bail bondsmen, other than corporate sureties and
their agents.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects an outdated cross-reference
in Article 48A, § 9.

A number of provisions relating to benefits required
to be provided by nonprofit health service plans have
been added in Subtitle 31, "Miscellaneous", of Article
48A.

The outdated cross-reference was noted by the
professional staff of the Legislative Division of the
Department of Legislative Reference.

33A.

All money received under §§ 33(i), 41(1), (2), (3), (4). and
(16), and 194 of this article shall be general funds of the
State[. Except] , EXCEPT THAT money for travel expenses and
living expense allowance received pursuant to § 33(i) of this
article shall be held in a special revolving fund by the
Comptroller for the sole purpose of the payment of the costs of
examinations of insurance companies.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This clarifies the language of Article 48A,
§ 33A.

The language being clarified was contained in Ch. 526
of the Acts of 1981. In addition to the language in §
33A being initially unclear as enacted, the meaning of
§ 33A was made more unclear by a typographic error in
publication, the substitution of a period for a comma
which occurred in the printing of the 1981 Supplement
to the 1979 Replacement Volume for Volume 5A of the
Annotated Code.                                                        

The clarification was suggested by the Michie Company.
