Ch. 35

(III) EACH INSURANCE APPERTAINING TO HEALTH INSURANCE.

(3) "HEALTH INSURANCE" DOES NOT INCLUDE WORKERS'
COMPENSATION INSURANCE.

SPECIAL REVISOR'S NOTE: As enacted by Ch. 36, Acts of 1995, this subsection
was new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 48A, §

66. However, Ch._, Acts of 1997, made stylistic changes in paragraph

(l)(i) of this subsection and added references to "accident insurance" and
"disability insurance" to paragraph (2) of this subsection to clarify that
accident insurance and disability insurance are considered types of health
insurance.

The Insurance Article Review Committee noted in Ch. 36, for consideration
by the General Assembly, that there is no precise meaning for "insurance
appertaining to health insurance". Since insurance that belongs as a proper
function or part of health insurance seems to be contemplated by paragraph
(1) of this subsection, paragraph (2)(iii) of this subsection is unnecessary and
confusing.

Defined term: "Insurance" § 1-101

SPECIAL REVISOR'S NOTE: As enacted by Ch. 36, Acts of 1995, this subsection
was new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 48A, §

166(b). Chapter _, Acts of 1997, repealed and reenacted this subsection

without change.
