In Maryland, boat pilots were regulated first in
1787, when a board was formed to examine the
qualifications of those who practiced the "art of
piloting in Chesapeake bay and the rivers thereof
(Chapter 26, Acts of 1787). Numerous boards were
appointed thereafter to examine, license, and set
fees. The State Board of Pilots was created as the
Board of Examiners of Maryland Pilots in 1969 to
license pilots (Chapter 575, Acts of 1969). The
Board received its present name in 1989 (Chapter
3, Acts of 1989). The Board establishes rules and
regulations to ensure the safety of pilotage services.
In 1984, the responsibility for setting pilotage fees
and charges was transferred to the Public Service
Commission (Chapter 727, Acts of 1984).
The Board consists of nine members appointed
for two-year terms by the Governor. The Secretary
of Licensing and Regulation (or designee) serves ex
officio and the eight remaining members are ap-
pointed with the Secretary's advice. Four members
must be licensed or retired pilots with at least five
years experience. Two must be members of the
steamship industry who actively employ pilots, and
two are consumer representatives. The President of

the Association of Maryland Pilots also serves ex
officio on the Board. Authorization for the Board

cupations and Professions Article, sees. 11-101
