The Board consists of a Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary,
appointed by the Governor, with the consent of the Senate, for a term
of three years. (Ch. 390, 1922.)
The duties of the Board are to examine all films, reels or views to
be exhibited or used in the State of Maryland; to approve such as are
moral and proper, and to condemn or eliminate those which in the
judgment of the Board, tend to debase or corrupt morals, or incite to
crime.
The Board receives in advance a fee of $2.00 for each 1,000 feet of
film, or fractional part thereof, submitted for examination, and $1.00
for each duplicate of 1,000 feet, or fractional part thereof, if submitted
within a year after the examination and approval of the original film.
Upon completion of the examination the Board issues a certificate stat-
ing the result of the examination and furnishes an official approval
seal, record of which is kept by the Board.
Persons submitting films to the Board for examination, if dis-
satisfied with the result of the first examination, may, upon appeal,
submit the same film to the Board for re-examination, and finally to
the City Court of Baltimore.
Any person failing to display the approval seal of the Board may
be fined from $5.00 to $10.00, or in default of payment shall be sentenced
to imprisonment from two to five days.
