Ch. 11                                      1996 LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48B, § 1(7).

(C)     LICENSE.

"LICENSE" MEANS A LICENSE ISSUED BY THE COMMISSIONER TO PROVIDE
MOTOR CLUB SERVICE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to provide an express
definition of the term "license" for this title.

The defined term "license" is used in this title instead of the former term
"certificate of authority", which was used in former Art. 48B, to avoid
confusion with the defined term "certificate of authority" in § 1-101 of this
article. A "certificate of authority" is a certificate issued by the Commissioner
to engage in the insurance business in the State. Because motor clubs provide
motor club service and do not engage in the insurance business, the use of the
term "certificate of authority" was inappropriate.

Defined terms: "Commissioner" § 1-401
"Motor club service" § 26-101

(D)    LICENSEE.

"LICENSEE" MEANS A MOTOR CLUB THAT IS LICENSED BY THE COMMISSIONER
TO PROVIDE MOTOR CLUB SERVICE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48B, § 1(4).

The reference to a motor club "that is licensed by the Commissioner to
provide motor club service" is substituted for the former reference to a motor
club "to which a certificate of authority has been issued under this article" for
clarity. See the revisor's note to subsection (c) of this section.

Defined terms: "Commissioner" § 1-101
"Motor club" § 26-101
"Motor club service" § 26-101

(E)     MEMBER.

"MEMBER" MEANS A MEMBER OR SUBSCRIBER OF A MOTOR CLUB.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition of
the phrase "member or subscriber of a motor club".

Defined term: "Motor club" § 26-101

(F)     MOTOR CLUB.

"MOTOR CLUB" MEANS A PERSON ENGAGED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY IN
SELLING OR OFFERING FOR SALE, FURNISHING, OR PROCURING MOTOR CLUB
SERVICE.
