REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, §§ 147, 148, 149, and 161.

In subsection (a)(1) and (3)(ii) of this section, the defined term "impaired
insurer" is substituted for the former reference to an insurer that is
"insolvent" to reflect the merger of the terms "impaired" and "insolvent" in §
9-201(h) of this subtitle.

In subsection (f)(4) of this section, the former reference to an opportunity to
"appear" is deleted as implicit in the reference to an "opportunity to be
heard" in this subsection.

As to the effect of subsections (f) and (g) of this section as part of the Uniform
