(2) A STATEMENT OF VERIFICATION SUBJECTS THE
INDIVIDUAL MAKING THE STATEMENT TO THE PENALTIES FOR PERJURY
TO THE SAME EXTENT AS IF THE STATEMENT HAD BEEN VERIFIED
UNDER OATH BEFORE A PERSON AUTHORIZED TO ADMINISTER OATHS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added: (i)
to establish uniform standards for
acknowledgments and verifications required by
this article; and (ii) to permit the alternative
of a signed statement having the effect of an
acknowledgment or verification, providing ease
and convenience without detracting substantively
from the purposes and effects of acknowledgments
and verifications.

This section is patterned after the essential
elements of Maryland Rule 5c., which defines
"verified", and CA § 1—302, which provides for an
alternative of a signed statement.

As to acknowledgments generally — including a
list of persons authorized to take
acknowledgments — see Article 18 of the Code.

As to who may acknowledge a document for a
corporation, generally, see CA § 1—303.

ARTICLE TO AN EMPLOYER TO ENGAGE IN AN ACTIVITY IN WHICH THE
EMPLOYER MAY EMPLOY ANY INDIVIDUAL, THE EMPLOYER SHALL FILE
WITH THE ISSUING AUTHORITY:

(1)       A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE
WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION LAWS; OR

(2)       A WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE POLICY OR
BINDER NUMBER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language that
combines without substantive change Art. 23, §
156A and Art. 83, § 156A.

Under Art. 101, § 31A of the Code, which sets
forth the procedure for obtaining a certificate
of compliance — as well as similar provisions in
Arts. 41 and 56 of the Code — it is evident that
the requisites of present Arts. 23, § 156A and
