Superintendent and shall contain such information as the State
Superintendent shall deem reasonable and necessary. Together with
the application, the solicitor shall submit to the State Superin-
tendent for approval a copy of each type of contract offered by the
solicitor to prospective students and used by the solicitor's school,
together with such advertising material and other representations
as are made by the school to its students or prospective students, and
such instructional material as may be requested by the State Super-
intendent to enable him to evaluate the instructional program, as
well as the sales methods of the school, provided that the State
Superintendent may accept accreditation of a school by a recognized
accrediting agency in lieu of said instructional material.

(c)  If the State Superintendent approves the application required
under sub-section (a) hereof, the State Superintendent, upon pay-
ment of a fee of Five Dollars ($5.00), shall issue to the solicitor a
permit card permitting the solicitation of students for the school, but
such permit shall be issued only on an annual basis, expiring on June
80 of each year, and it must be renewed annually to entitle such
solicitor to solicit students thereafter.

(d)  Before any permit shall be issued hereunder to any solicitor,
the school such solicitor represents shall execute a surety bond to
the State of Maryland in the amount of One Thousand Dollars
($1,000.) and in such form as the State Superintendent shall deter-
mine to be necessary, conditioned on the faithful performance of all
agreements and contracts with students, and on compliance with
the provisions of this sub-title; provided, however, that an aggregate
liability of the surety for all breaches of the conditions of the bond
shall in no event exceed the amount of such bond. When such school
has executed the bond as required, no additional bonds shall be re-
quired for additional solicitors requesting a permit to represent the
same school.

302. The State Superintendent is authorized to promulgate such
rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of this
sub-title, as may be necessary to supplement and implement the pro-
visions thereof.

303. (a) For a violation of the contract with a student, or for
other good cause, the State Superintendent is authorized to revoke
the permit issued to any solicitor, after due notice of said revocation
to the solicitor, and an opportunity afforded to the solicitor, to be
heard on said revocation.

(b) Any solicitor aggrieved by any decision of the State Super-
intendent hereunder, shall have the right to appeal said decision to
the Circuit Court of the county or to the Baltimore City Court, as
the case may be, wherein said solicitor operates or proposes to
operate.

304. Any person violating the provisions of this sub-title, or any
of the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder, shall, upon con-
viction thereof, be fined not less than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00)
nor more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each such offense.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1961.

Approved April 24, 1961.
