184.
(b) All privately owned buses used [exclusively]
ONLY for (the purpose of] operating the transportation
system of any municipality or political subdivision in
this State are exempted from the provisions of this
subtitle requiring the payment of registration fees. The
Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Administration shall
issue certificates of registration and identification
plates without charge or fee to buses qualifying under
this subsection. Other additional fees, licenses or tax
may not be charged by the State or any county or
municipal subdivision of the State except [the excise tax
for the issuance of every original certificate of title,]
the property tax and gasoline tax in respect to these
buses or their operation. However, these buses must be
used for the transportation of the public [in] ON regular
[route] SCHEDULES AND between fixed [points] TERMINI, AS
THESE TERMS ARE DEFINED IN §§ 11-148 AND 11-122 TITLE 11
OF THE TRANSPORTATION ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: The last sentence of subsection (b)
is revised to conform to the language adopted
in Transportation Article §13-810(a)(14), the
source law to which was enacted by the same
act (Ch. 896, Acts of 1976) as enacted present
Art. 56, §184(b). See the revisor's notes to
§§ 11-122, 11-148, and 13-810 of the
Transportation Article. See, also. Art. 78,
§32(a-1) of the Code.
In the third sentence of subsection (b) which
prohibits the charge of additional fees and
taxes, the present exception for "the excise
tax for the issuance of every original
certificate of title" is deleted. Ch. 896,
Acts of 1976, amended present Art. 66 1/2,
§3-831(e) - now, §13-810(a) (14) of the
Transportation Article — expressly to exempt
these vehicles from that excise tax. The use
of the inconsistent phrase here apparently is
the result of the draftsman's mechanical
adoption verbatim of the language used in the
last sentence of subsection (a) of this
section, without recognizing the difference
required by the exemption established in the
same bill.
SECTION 4. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Sections
2(w) and 32(a-1) of Article 78 - Public Service
Commission Law, of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1972
Replacement Volume and 1976 Supplement), be and they are
hereby repealed and reenacted, with amendments, to read
as follows:
