or milk product business.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 571 of Article 43 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1957 Edition), title "Health", sub-title "Milk and Milk Products",
be and it is hereby repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, to
read as follows:

§ 571.

No person shall engage in any of the businesses for which a permit
is required under the provisions of § 570 of this subtitle without
first complying with the provisions of this section. Those who, as of
June 1, 1941, are engaged in business which subjects them to any of
the provisions of said § 570, and who hold all the required permits
therefor, shall not be required to renew such permits until the
expiration thereof. Those who, as of June 1, 1941, are engaged in
business which subjects them to any of the provisions of said § 570,
and who do not hold all the required permits therefor, shall make
application for such permits on June 1, 1941, and upon so doing
shall be permitted to so continue in such business unless and until
such application is rejected by the health authority. All applications
for permits shall be made on appropriate forms to be provided by
the health authority, and all applications for renewal of such permits
shall be made at such time as may be required by such authority.
With every such application, whether it be for an original permit or
for a renewal thereof (excepting only applications for permits for
dairy farms, for which no inspection fee is required), every applicant
shall pay the inspection fees required hereby as follows: Every proc-
essor, for each and every milk plant operated by him, shall pay a
fee of ten dollars ($10.00). [Every distributor, for each place where
milk or milk products are stored or offered for sale or from which
distribution for sale is made by him, shall pay a fee of two dollars
($2.00), unless such place is a duly licensed milk plant hereunder.]
Every bobtailer shall pay a fee of five dollars ($5.00). All fees paid
under the provisions of this section for a license to be issued by the
State Department of Health shall be duly accounted for by such
Department to the State Comptroller and shall be used by such De-
partment in carrying out the provisions of this subtitle, and shall be
included in the State budget to be submitted to the General Assembly
at each regular session thereof. All fees paid under the provisions
of this section for a license to be issued by a health department of a
city or town (a) having a population in excess of one hundred
thousand (100,000); (b) maintaining its own municipal health de-
partment; and (c) maintaining a system of milk control under State
law or city ordinance shall be duly accounted for by such department
to the comptroller of such city or town, and shall be used by such
department in carrying out the provisions of this sub-title, and shall
be included in the budget to be submitted annually by such city or
town, to its council.

SEC 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1962.
