REVISOR'S NOTE: This first paragraph presently
appears as Article 14B, section 8 of the
Code, as amended by Chapter 348, Acts of
1972. Article 66c, section 8 (a) is
proposed for deletion because it is set
forth as new language in subsection (b) (1) .

Paragraphs 2 — 9 of subsection (b)
presently appear as Article 14B, section 10
of the Code, as amended by Chapter 348,
Acts of 1972. Paragraph (4) has been
revised to reflect provisions of the
Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971. Paragraph
(7) substitutes for the present 90 day
reciprocal period a reference to change of
state of principal use. "State of
principal use" is defined in section 8-701.
It is a new term now employed in the
Federal Boat Safety Act of 1971 and
implementing regulations in substitution
for the present 90 day reciprocity.

The only other changes made are in style.
