Notice of Final Action

[07-316-F-I]

On June 9, 2008, the Insurance Commissioner adopted

new Regulation .03, the recodification of existing Regulations .04, .05, .07 — .12, and .14 to be Regulations .05, .06,

.08 — .13, and .15, respectively, the amendment and recodification of existing Regulations .03, .06, and .13 to be Regulations .04, .07, and .14, respectively under COMAR

34:26 Md. R. 2310 — 2311 (December 21, 2007), has been

adopted with the nonsubstantive changes shown below.

Effective Date: June 30, 2008.

Attorney General’s Certification

In accordance with State Government Article, §10-113,

Annotated Code of Maryland, the Attorney General certifies

that the following changes do not differ substantively from

the proposed text. The nature of the changes and the basis

for this conclusion are as follows:

Regulation .14: The word ‘‘Rebates’’ was deleted and the

following was added, ‘‘For fund years incepting before January 1, 2008, rebates’’; ‘‘24’’ was deleted and replaced with

‘‘11’’; and the following sentence was added at the end, ‘‘For

fund years incepting on or after January 1, 2008, rebates

may not be paid less than 23 months after the end of the

fund year’’.

The published regulation addressed the timing of rebates.

The only change made to the published regulation is a clarification that the change in the timing of rebates was intended to be prospective only (for fund years incepting on or

after January 1, 2008).

This revision to the proposed regulation does not provide

additional requirements on interested parties but merely

clarifies the language of the original requirements that

were previously published.

.14 Rebates and Temporary Suspension of Member

Contributions.

A. Any monies for a fund year in excess of the amount

necessary to fund all undiscounted losses and loss adjustment expenses for that fund year, actuarially determined by

a person meeting the requirements of Regulation .13B of this

chapter, may be rebated to members of the group. [[Rebates]] For fund years incepting before January 1, 2008, rebates may not be paid less than [[24]] 11 months after the

end of the fund year. For fund years incepting on or after

January 1, 2008, rebates may not be paid less than 23

months after the end of the fund year.
