No. 28
(Senate Joint Resolution 53)

Senate Joint Resolution requesting the Governor of Maryland to ap-
point a Committee to prepare a comprehensive law covering the
Retail Credit Sales Field, and designating who shall be Chairman
of said Committee.

Whereas, there presently exists a state of chaos in the Retail

state of flux, with a Retail Installment Sales Act, a Retail Credit
Accounts Law, and the Uniform Commercial Code; and

Whereas, the bulk of financing today is moving away from the
regulated areas because of provisions of the Uniform Commercial
Code; and
