NO. 11

(Senate Joint Resolution 15)

Joint Resolution requesting the Governor to appoint a com-
mission to study the laws of Maryland requiring licenses
to engage in a trade or occupation.

WHEREAS, numerous acts heretofore passed by the General
Assembly relate to the requirement of obtaining licenses be-
fore engaging in certain trades or occupations; and

WHEREAS, it appears that a license procured in one political
subdivision of the State authorizing the holder thereof to
carry on a trade or occupation is not recognized in other
political subdivisions; and

WHEREAS, it is deemed necessary to study said laws with
a view to eliminating unnecessary duplications and facilitat-
ing the enjoyment throughout the State of the privileges
thereby conferred; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That the
Governor be and he is hereby requested to appoint a com-
mission, of such number as he shall determine, to study said
licensing laws and to submit its report and recommendations
to the Governor and Legislative Council on or before Novem-
ber 1, 1949 and to the General Assembly at the beginning of
its next regular session.

Approved April 22, 1949.
