(1)   THE MAKING OF ANY MATERIALLY FALSE
STATEMENT IN THE APPLICATION FOR THE LICENSE;

(2)    THE CONVICTION OF THE LICENSEE OF ANY
VIOLATION OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE RELATING
TO CATCHING HARD-SHELL CLAMS WITH A HANDSCRAPE,
SHINNECOCK RAKE, OR HYDRAULIC OR MECHANICAL DREDGE. A
LICENSEE MAY NOT CATCH HARD-SHELL CLAMS WITH ANY
SHINNECOCK RAKE, HYDRAULIC OR MECHANICAL DREDGE, OR
SIMILAR DEVICE, DURING THE PERIOD HIS LICENSE IS
SUSPENDED OR REVOKED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 712(f)(8) of the Code.
The provisions of section 698 (b) are
limited to the issuance of licenses and,
therefore, do not supersede the provisions
of this proposed section relating to
handscrapes and hydraulic or mechanical
dredges. The reference to "subsection" is
proposed for deletion because the
provisions of the present subsection (f)
are set forth throughout this subtitle. In
addition, new language is added to make
this section applicable to hard—shell clam
dredging in light of Article 66C, section
712A(g). The only other changes made are
in style.

4-1027. CLAM DEALER'S LICENSES.

ANY PERSON WISHING TO ENGAGE IN THE BUSINESS OF
SHIPPING OR SELLING HARD-SHELL CLAMS TAKEN FROM THE
WATERS OF THE STATE FIRST SHALL OBTAIN A LICENSE FROM
THE CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE COUNTY WHERE THE
APPLICANT RESIDES. AN APPLICANT SHALL PAY A $25
LICENSE FEE AND 50 CENTS TO COVER THE COST OF ISSUANCE
TO THE CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT. THIS LICENSE SHALL
BE VALID ONLY FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR IN WHICH IT IS
ISSUED. THE CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT SHALL SEND
MONTHLY TO THE DEPARTMENT A RECORD OF EVERY LICENSE
ISSUED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION. THIS
SECTION IS NOT INTENDED TO PROHIBIT ANY LICENSEE FROM.
SELLING HIS OWN CATCH WITHOUT A SHIPPER'S OR DEALER'S
LICENSE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 712(b) of the Code.
The reference to "marketing" is proposed
for deletion in favor of "selling" in order
to maintain consistency with the language
