REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as the first six paragraphs of Article 66C,
section 403 of the Code, as amended by

Chapter ___, H.B. 299, Acts of 1973. The

words "or her" are proposed for deletion in
light of Article 1, section 7, of the Code,
which provides that reference to the
masculine includes the feminine gender.

Paragraphs (2) and (4) are proposed for
deletion by action of the Legislative
Council. Paragraph (2) is not considered
desirable from a policy standpoint and
because it is inconsistent with other
licensed professions open to persons who
are not citizens. Paragraph (4) is
nebulous in terms of standards and
application. The only other changes made
are in style.

(B) LICENSEE TO CARRY INSURANCE.—EVERY LICENSEE
SHALL CARRY AND SHOW PROOF OF LIABILITY AND PROPERTY
DAMAGE INSURANCE, IN THE FORM AND AMOUNT REQUIRED BY
THE DEPARTMENT AT THE TIME IT ISSUES THE LICENSE. THE
LICENSEE SHALL MAINTAIN THE INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR
THE PERIOD THE LICENSE IS IN EFFECT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as the seventh paragraph of Article 66C,

made are in style.
