change from former Art. 48, § 176C.

Throughout this section, references to the "insurer" are substituted for the
former references to the "company" and the "insurance company" for

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to each "covered"
boiler and pressure vessel is deleted as implicit.

In subsection (b)(1) and (2) of this section, the references to "certificate"
inspections are added for clarity.
