Ch. 11

1996 LAWS OF MARYLAND

In subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, the reference to "driving" an uninsured
motor vehicle is substituted for the former reference to "operating" an
uninsured motor vehicle. Similarly, in subsection (b)(3)(i) of this section, the
reference to "driver's license" is substituted for the former reference to
"operator's license". Similarly, in subsections (c)(2), (d)(2) and (3), and
(e)(1)(ii) and (iii) of this section, the reference to a "driver" is substituted for
the former references to an "operator". See the General Revisor's Note to this
title.

In subsections (c)(2)(i) and (ii) and (d)(4)(ii) of this section, the word
"establish[ed]" is substituted for the former word "ascertain[ed]" to conform
to the terminology used in this section.

In subsection (c)(4) of this section, the reference to reasonable efforts being
"unsuccessful" to establish the identities of certain persons is substituted for
the former reference stating that "either the identity of the motor vehicle and
the owner and operator thereof cannot be established, or the identity of the
operator who was operating the motor vehicle without the owner's consent
cannot be established" for clarity.

In subsection (e)(2)(ii) of this section, the general reference to "property" is
substituted for the former specific reference to "real or personal property
including automobiles" for brevity.

The Insurance Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration of the
General Assembly, that subsection (e)(1)(iii) of this section prohibits a
claimant from being: (1) an uninsured driver's spouse who resides in the
uninsured driver's household; (2) another family member who resides in the
same household; or (3) the personal representative of a spouse who resided in
the same household. The provision, however, does not prohibit a claimant
from being the personal representative of another family member who resided
in the same household. The General Assembly may wish to fill this gap.
