Summary

The bill lets a mutual insurance holding company that fully owns a reorganized stock insurer change its whole structure into a mutual insurer. Conversion requires a detailed plan approved by the company’s board, a 75% member vote, and the Maryland Insurance Commissioner’s sign‑off. It aims to protect members and policyholders while giving regulators oversight of the transition.
