REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, § 168(b)(1)(ii) and (i), as it related to an
individual being of good character and trustworthy, and (c)(1)(i). as it related
to former (b)(1)(f) and (ii), § 176(a), and § 177(3), (1)(i), (ii), except as it
related to an affidavit, and (iii), except as it related to an application and
affidavit, and, as it related to passing an examination, the first sentence of (2).

In subsection (c)(1), (2)(ii), and (3)(ii) of this section, the former references
to a "specific" kind of insurance are deleted as surplusage.

The Insurance Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by the
General Assembly, that the meaning of "responsible insurance duties" in
subsection (c)(2)(ii) of this section is unclear. Since a certificate of
qualification generally is required to perform responsible duties relating to
insurance, it is unclear what "responsible insurance duties" may be performed
by a person who does not hold a certificate of qualification. The General
Assembly may wish to clarify this provision.
