What is the purpose of Title 19 in COMAR?

Title 19 in COMAR is specifically focused on the management and regulation of public utilities. This includes establishing standards and policies for utility operations, ensuring that utility services are provided in a fair and reliable manner, and safeguarding consumer interests. The regulations under Title 19 are designed to ensure that public utilities, such as electricity, water, and gas, operate efficiently and meet the needs of the community while also adhering to state laws and regulations.

The other options pertain to areas governed by different titles within COMAR. For example, housing standards would be regulated under a different title that addresses housing issues, health insurance falls under health-related regulations, and transportation safety would be managed by the respective transportation authorities. Each area has its own set of regulations to ensure that specific aspects are handled appropriately, but Title 19 is distinctly focused on public utilities.
