Ch. 57

1997 LAWS OF MARYLAND

[(i)] (1) 50% above or below the community rate for any health benefit
plan issued, delivered, or renewed between July 1, 1994 and June 30, 1995; AND

[(ii)](2) 40% above or below the community rate for any health benefit
plan issued, delivered, or renewed between July 1, 1995 and June 30, 1996[; and].

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 48A, § 702(b)(l)(i) and (ii).

Former Art. 48A, § 702(b)(l)(i) and (ii) phased in, from July 1,1994 through
June 30, 1996, the limits on the rate a carrier may charge for health benefit
plans under the Maryland Health Insurance Reform Act. These provisions are
apparently obsolete. However, they are transferred to the Session Laws to
avoid any inadvertent substantive effect their repeal might have.

The only changes are in style.
