No. 31
(Senate Joint Resolution 65)

A Senate Joint Resolution concerning

Business Licenses

FOR the purpose of establishing a Task Force to
investigate whether the licensing, regulation and
supervision programs can be self—sustaining.

There are many programs of regulations, licensing
and supervision of various businesses and industry groups
by the State.

These groups are profit—making organizations and
their business is dependent on their operating within the
State.

It is desirable that the cost of regulating and
licensing and supervising these industries be borne by
the industries themselves.

In this way the burden on the State of Maryland will
be eased and will be taken up by those who benefit from
the State's programs; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF MARYLAND, That
this Body requests the Governor to establish a Task Force
consisting of representatives of various departments of
the State government which are concerned with licensing,
regulation and supervision and that this Task Force
propose a revision of fees and licenses for business and
industry groups so affected so that all licensing,
regulation and supervision programs will be
self—sustaining based on the fees charged in connection
with the programs of licensing, regulations and
supervision; and be it further
