Ch. 11                                      1996 LAWS OF MARYLAND

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, THE COMMISSIONER
MAY NOT BE REQUIRED TO POST A BOND AS A PREREQUISITE FOR ISSUANCE OF AN
ORDER UNDER THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, §§ 135 and 135C.

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to issuing an order "without notice" is deleted as the absence of
notice is implicit in the nature of an ex parte order.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the former language "until further order of
the court" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the specific authority of the
court under subsection (b) of this section to determine the duration of a
seizure order issued by the court under this section.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the former references to holding hearings
"from time to time" "as [the court] deems desirable"' are deleted as
surplusage.

In subsection (b)(4) and (5) of this section, the defined term "delinquency
proceeding" is substituted for the former references to a "formal proceeding
under this subtitle" for clarity.

In the introductory language of subsection (f) of this section, the former
reference to the authority of the court to issue an order "as may be deemed
necessary" is deleted as implicit in the authority of the court to issue the
order.

In subsection (g)(1) of this section, the defined term "Administration" is
substituted for the former reference to the "Insurance division" in light of the
renaming of the former Insurance Division of the Department of Licensing
and Regulation as the Insurance Administration by Ch. 538, § 5, Acts of 1993.

In subsection (g)(2) of this section, the phrase "in a proceeding under this
section" is added for clarity and consistency with subsection (g)(1) of this
section.

Defined terms: "Administration" § 1-101
"Control" § 1-101
"Commissioner" § 1-101
"Delinquency proceeding" § 9-201
"Insurer" § 1-101
"Person" § 1-101
