Ch. 36

1995 LAWS OF MARYLAND

Defined term: "Person" § 1-101

(N) COUNTY.

"COUNTY" MEANS A COUNTY OF THE STATE OR BALTIMORE CITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to indicate that a
reference in this article to "county" includes Baltimore City, unless the
reference specifically provides otherwise.

Article 1, § 14(a) of the Code provides that "county" includes Baltimore City
"unless such construction would be unreasonable". Since the word
"unreasonable" in that section has been interpreted in various ways, the
Commission to Revise the Annotated Code decided that an explicit definition
of "county" should be included in revised articles of the Code.

(O) DOMESTIC INSURER.

"DOMESTIC INSURER" MEANS AN INSURER THAT IS FORMED UNDER THE LAWS
OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, § 6(1).

Defined term: "Insurer" § 1-101

(P) FOREIGN INSURER.

(1)      "FOREIGN INSURER" MEANS AN INSURER THAT IS FORMED UNDER
THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THIS STATE.

(2)      UNLESS THE CONTEXT REQUIRES OTHERWISE, "FOREIGN INSURER"
INCLUDES AN ALIEN INSURER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, § 6(2) and (4).
