schools which hold a certificate of approval from the State Super-
intendent of Schools or which are specifically exempted from such
requirement by subsection (a) of Section 12 of this article.

147.    Solicitor's permit required; application; fee; expiration and
renewal; bond.

(a)    Every solicitor for any nonpublic school, located within or
without the State of Maryland, shall apply to the State Superintendent
of Schools for an annual permit on July 1 of each year.

(b)    The application shall be made on forms supplied by the
State 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 Superintendent
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 instruc-
tional material as may be requested by the State Superintendent
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 re-
quired under subsection (a) hereof, the State Superintendent, upon
payment of a fee of five dollars ($5), 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 30 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 chapter; 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
required for additional solicitors requesting a permit to represent
the same school.

148.    Rules and regulations.

The State Superintendent is authorized to promulgate such rules
and regulations, not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter,
as may be necessary to supplement and implement the provisions
thereof.
