REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48, § 177(a) and (b).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to an "authorized insurer"
is substituted for the former reference to "each company" employing a
special inspector for accuracy. See § 12-907(a) of this subtitle.
Consequently, in subsection (a)(3) and (4) of this section, the references to
the "authorized insurer" are added.

Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former phrase "[e]xcept for a
company operating pressure vessels covered by an owner-user inspection
service meeting the requirements of this subtitle" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the revision of this subsection, which only applies to
authorized insurers.

In subsection (b)(1) and (3) of this section, the reference to a "person" that
operates pressure vessels is substituted for the former reference to a
"company" for consistency with § 12-907(a) of this subtitle.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to an "owner-user"
inspection service is substituted for the former reference to an "owner or
user" inspection service for clarity and consistency throughout this
subtitle.

In subsection (b)(3)(i)1 of this section, the reference to a "professional"
engineer is added for clarity.

Defined terms: "Boiler" § 12-901

"Certificate inspection" § 12-901
"Person" § 1-101
"Pressure vessel" § 12-901

12-911. SAME — CERTIFICATES.
