MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 1661

requires any "individual, firm, corporation,
or association" to obtain a license is
omitted in light of the definition of
"person" in §1—101(f). The provisions of
Art. 48, §66 (a), (b) and (c) prohibiting any
person engaging in the designated business
without a license is omitted because it is
unnecessary. This section requires certain
persons to obtain licenses; the uniform
penalty provision of this Article provides
that any person who violates any provision of
this Article is guilty of a misdemeanor.

The reference in 666 (b) to any "person   who

purchases any tobacco from a producer"     is

proposed for deletion in light of     the

definition of "transfer buyer" set forth     in

§7-101 (k). New language is added     to

§7-209 (a)(1) and (2) to codify the name     of
the licenses issued by the Authority.

The maximum fee for selling agency license,
transfer buyer's license, and sales floor
buyer's license is set forth here because
this is the fee charged by the Authority.
Subsection (d), however, provides that the
Authority has the power to decrease the fee.

Subsection (b) presently appears as Art. 48,
§66 (f) of the Code. The last sentence is
proposed for deletion as unnecessary.

Subsection (c) is new language   derived from

the last sentence of Art. 48,     §66 (b), and

the second, third, and fifth   sentences of
Art. 48, §66 (c).

Subsection (e) presently appears as Art. 48,
§66 (d) of the Code.

Subsection (f) presently appears as Art. 48,
§66(e) of the Code.

The only other changes made are in style.
