Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language that
combines, without substantive change, former Art. 75
1/2, § 2(b) and (e)(1) and (2) and the first clause
of (3).

In paragraph (3)(v) of this subsection, the former,
broader reference to "general real estate practices",
of which appraisal was but 1 example, is deleted. On
analysis, the Business Occupations Article Review
Committee determined that the appraisal of property
was the only real estate practice that one might
characterize as being within the practice of
engineering.

The definition is stated in the infinitive form to

allow minor verb variations of the defined phrase

without taking these variations out of the scope of
the definition.

Defined term: "Professional engineer" § 14-101

(G) PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER.

"PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER" MEANS, UNLESS THE CONTEXT REQUIRES
OTHERWISE, AN ENGINEER WHO IS LICENSED BY THE BOARD TO PRACTICE
ENGINEERING.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 75 1/2, §
2(c).

The former word "registered" is deleted to conform to
changes in terminology made throughout this article.
See the General Revisor's Note to this article.

Occasionally, the term "licensee" is used in this
title as a synonym for "professional engineer". Since
"license" is defined in subsection (d) of this
section, "licensee" need not be defined separately.

Defined terms: "Board" § 14-101

"Engineer" § 14-101

"Practice engineering" § 14-101

(H) RESPONSIBLE CHARGE.

(1)   "RESPONSIBLE CHARGE" MEANS DIRECT CONTROL AND
PERSONAL DIRECTION OF THE INVESTIGATION, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, OR
OPERATION OF ENGINEERING WORK THAT REQUIRES INITIATIVE,
PROFESSIONAL SKILL, AND INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT.

(2)   "RESPONSIBLE CHARGE" INCLUDES RESPONSIBLE
ENGINEERING TEACHING.
