Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

(I)  A STORM DRAINAGE SYSTEM;

(II)  DRAINAGE FOR A STREET OR ROAD; OR

(III)  A GRADE DESIGN OF A STREET OR ROAD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Paragraph (1) of this subsection is new
language substituted for former Art. 56, § 330 (h)(1)
and the second clause of (g). While it was not
entirely clear from a literal reading of former §
330(g) and (h), on careful analysis, the Business
Occupations Article Review Committee determined that
the practice of property line surveying consists of
all of those activities that constitute the practice
of land surveying, except those activities that
require knowledge of grade designs and drainage.
Therefore, paragraph (1) of this subsection specifies
that, subject to the listed exclusions, "practice
property line surveying" means "to practice land
surveying". Paragraph (2)(i) and (ii) of this
subsection retains the excluded activities that
formerly appeared in Art. 56, § 330(h)(2).

Paragraph (2)(iii) of this subsection is new language
added to state expressly that preparing "a grade
design of a street or road" is not practicing property
line surveying. This addition conforms to the
practice of the profession and of the Board.

In the introductory language of paragraph (2) of this
subsection, the reference to "preparing a plan" is
added for clarity.

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: "Practice land surveying" § 15-101

(I) PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYOR.

"PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYOR" MEANS, UNLESS THE CONTEXT
REQUIRES OTHERWISE, A LAND SURVEYOR WHO IS LICENSED BY THE BOARD
TO PRACTICE LAND SURVEYING.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §
330(d).

The former word "registered" is deleted to conform to
changes in terminology made throughout this article.
