PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND LAND SURVEYORS 2885

1939, ch. 752, sec. 18.

18. (Reciprocity.) The Board may enter into agreements for reci-
procity with the licensing agencies of other jurisdictions and issue without
fee or examination, if such reciprocal arrangements can be made, a certifi-
cate of Registration as a Professional Engineer or Land Surveyor to any
person legally qualified to practice in other jurisdictions whose license
requirements are acceptable to the Board, giving full faith and credence to
the acts of the authority by which they were qualified. When agreements
for reciprocity without fee cannot be made, the fee for a reciprocal license
shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for professional engineer, or fifteen
dollars ($15.00) for land surveyor.

1939, ch. 752, sec. 19.

19. (Revocations.) The Board shall have the power to revoke the
certificate of registration of any registrant who is found guilty of:

(a) The practice of any fraud or deceit in obtaining a certificate of
registration;

(b) Any gross negligence, incompetency, or misconduct in the practice
of professional engineering or land surveying as a registered professional
engineer or land surveyor.

Any person may prefer charges of fraud, deceit, gross negligence, incom-
petency, or misconduct against any registrant. Such charges shall be in
writing, and shall be sworn to by the one making them and shall be filed
with the secretary of the Board.

All charges, unless dismissed by the Board as unfounded or trivial, shall
be heard by the Board within three months after the date on which they
shall have been preferred.

The time and place for said hearing shall be fixed by the Board, and a
copy of the charges, together with a notice of the time and place of hearing,
shall be personally served on or mailed to the last known address of such
registrant, at least thirty days before the date fixed for the hearing. At any
hearing, the accused registrant shall have the right to appear personally and
by counsel, to cross-examine witnesses appearing against him, and to pro-
duce evidence and witnesses in his own defense.

If, after such hearing, three or more members of the Board vote in favor
of finding the accused guilty, the Board shall revoke the certificate of
registration of such registered professional engineer or land surveyor.

(Reissuance of Certificates.) The Board, for reasons it may deem
sufficient, may re-issue a certificate of registration to any person whose
certificate has been revoked, providing three or more members of the Board
vote in favor of such reissuance. A new certificate of registration, to
replace any certificate revoked, lost, destroyed, or mutilated, may be issued,
subject to the rules of the Board, and a charge of three dollars ($3.00) shall
be made for such issuance.

(Appeals.) Any person who shall feel aggrieved by any action of the
Board in denying or revoking his certificate of registration may appeal
therefrom to the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City or to the Circuit Court
for any county and, after full hearing, said Court shall make such decree
sustaining or reversing the action of the Board as to it may seem just and
proper.
