reciprocal license shall be twenty-five dollars ($25. 00) for
professional engineer, or fifteen dollars ($15. 00) for land
surveyor.
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 miscon-
duct 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, incompetency, or misconduct against any reg-
istrant. 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 produce
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 registra-
tion to any person whose certificate has been revoked, pro-
viding 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 muti-
lated, 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
