The Department of Licensing and Regulation supervises many of the State's licensing and regulatory
boards. Created in 1970, the Department consolidated over thirty State agencies and boards responsible
for licensing and regulating businesses, professions, and trades. The oldest of these date to the nineteenth
century: the Insurance Department (1872); the Bureau of Statistics and Information (1884); and the
State Board of Examining Engineers (1892). In 1951, the Central License Office was authorized to house
five boards (Chapter 280, Acts of 1951). The Office was abolished when the Department was created in
1970 (Chapter 402, Acts of 1970).
The Department is organized into five Divisions: Insurance; Financial Regulation; Labor and Industry;
Occupational and Professional Licensing; and Racing. The Insurance Division supervises all aspects of
insurance services used by Maryland residents. The Division of Financial Regulation controls the operation
of banks, State-chartered savings and loan associations, credit unions, consumer loan companies, sales
finance companies, mortgage companies, and collection agencies. The Division also insures certain savings
and loan associations.
Protection for workers is provided by the Division of Labor and Industry which establishes safety
standards and promotes harmony between employers and employees. The Division also protects public
safety by inspecting railroads, boilers, elevators, and amusement rides. Standards of performance for several
vocations are enforced by the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing. The Division supervises
a variety of specialized occupations, including accountants, architects, engineers, cosmetologists, barbers,
home improvement contractors, and real estate brokers. The Division regulates the sports of boxing and
wrestling as well. The Maryland Racing Commission, through the Division of Racing, regulates thorough-
bred and harness horse racing.
