Section 336(c) and (e)

Annotated Code of Maryland

(1972 Replacement Volume and 1978 Supplement)

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That section(s) of the Annotated Code of Maryland
be repealed, amended, or enacted to read as follows:

Article 56 - Licenses

336.

(c) Certificates of registration shall expire on the
last day of June following their issuance or renewal, and
shall be invalid after that date unless renewed. The
secretary of the Board shall notify by regular mail every
person certified under this subtitle of the date of
expiration of his certificate, and the amount of the fee
required for its renewal for one year. The notice shall be
mailed to the registrant at his last known address at least
one month in advance of the date of the expiration of the
certificate. Failure to receive notice does not prevent the
certificate from becoming invalid after the expiration date.
Renewal may be effected at any time prior to July 1 by the
payment of a fee of $20 for professional land surveyors and
$15 for property line surveyors. Renewal shall be evidenced
by the issuance of an annual registration card, bearing the
date of expiration and the signatures of the chairman and
secretary of the Board. On failure of any registrant to
renew his certificate annually prior to July 1, as required
above, his right to practice shall be invalidated, but the
certificate may be renewed at any time within the next
succeeding 12 months upon the payment of a fee of $25 for
professional land surveyors and [$12] $20 for property line
surveyors. Renewal shall be evidenced by the issuance of an
annual registration card, bearing the date of expiration and
the signatures of the chairman and secretary of the Board.
If any registrant fails to renew his certificate within the
12-month period provided above, and later applies for
renewal, he may be required to present reasons for the
