50. NON-RESIDENT OWNERS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.
A non-resident owner except as otherwise provided in
this section, owning any foreign vehicle of a type otherwise
subject to registration hereunder may operate or permit the
operation of such vehicle within this State without register-
ing such vehicle in, or paying any fees to, this State subject to
the condition that such vehicle at all times when operated in
this State is duly registered in, and displays upon it a valid
registration plate or plates issued for such vehicle in the
place of residence of such owner, provided the State of which
he is a resident shall extend the same privilege to residents
of this State and provided further that motor vehicles, reg-
istered under the laws of this State, or registered and identi-
fied as required by the provisions of this Article, may be op-
erated by a non-resident of the State if such non-resident is
properly licensed to operate motor vehicles under the laws
of a State in which an examination as to qualification to op-
erate motor vehicles is required, and in which State residents
of Maryland are extended like privilege. Any resident of an-
other State who shall come to this State and take up perma-

registration plates on his or her motor vehicle, for a period of
thirty days and no more, from the time when residence in this
State first began.

is hereby authorized and empowered to confer and advise
with the proper officers and legislative bodies of other States,
and enter into reciprocal agreements under which the registra-
tion of motor vehicles owned by the residents of this State
will be recognized by such other States, and he is further
authorized and empowered from time to time to grant to resi-
dents of other States the privilege of using the roads of this
State as in this Article provided in return for similar priv-
ileges granted residents of this State by such other States.

52. EXEMPTION OF NON-RESIDENT OPERATORS NOT AP-
PLICABLE IN FOLLOWING CASES. The foregoing exemption of
non-residents shall not apply to operators of motor vehicles
or motor cycles who are residents of States which do not re-
iquire the display of identification markers on the same, nor
shall it apply to non-residents of this State who have tempo-
rary residences in this State for periods in excess of three
months in any year, or to non-residents, engaged in the busi-

partly upon or over the public highways of this State, over
