(b) An insurer that issues, sells, or delivers a motor vehicle liability insurance policy in the State may not:

(1) cancel the policy of a named insured or refuse to issue the policy to an applicant solely because the named insured or applicant is a volunteer driver; or

(c) This section does not prohibit an insurer from canceling, refusing to renew, imposing a surcharge on, or otherwise increasing the rate for a motor vehicle liability insurance policy based on factors other than the status of a driver under the policy as a volunteer driver.
