MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                      1633

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b) presently
appear as Art.. 66C, §474 (a) of the Code. The
present reference to "brand" is proposed for
deletion, and "product name" is substituted
in this and subsequent sections because soil
conditioners do not have "brands".

Subsection (c) is new language added to
codify present department practice. The
annual registration fees prescribed by §6-208
clearly indicate that each registration
terminates within a year.

Subsection (d) presently appears as Art. 66C,
§474 (b) and (c) of the Code.

The only other changes made are in style.
