LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 33

RESPONSIBILITY, AND GENERAL FITNESS TO:

(I)   COMMAND THE CONFIDENCE OF THE PUBLIC;
AND

(II)   WARRANT THE BELIEF THAT THE BUSINESS
WILL BE OPERATED LAWFULLY, HONESTLY, FAIRLY, AND
EFFICIENTLY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as Art.
58A, § 4(b)(1).

The introductory clause of this section is
expressed in terms of a duty of an applicant to
demonstrate that the applicant meets the
requirements for a license, rather than, as in
present Art. 58A, § 4(b), in terns of a duty of
the Commissioner to- issue a license "if he finds"
that the applicant meets the requirements. This
is to clarify that the primary burden is placed
on an applicant, in accordance with the apparent
intent of present Art. 58A, § 4(b) and the actual
practice of the commissioner. The requirement
that the Commissioner issue a license to a
qualified applicant now appears in § 11—207 of
this subtitle.

In item (3) of this section, the provision for an
applicant who is not an individual is new
language added to conform to other provisions of
this subtitle that provide for application by
corporations and other entities. See, e.g., §
11-206(a)(2) of this subtitle.

In item (3) (ii) of this section, the present
phrase "within the purposes of this article" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the words
"lawfully, honestly, fairly, and efficiently".

The only other changes are in style.

11-206. APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES.
(A) IN GENERAL.

(1)   TO APPLY FOR A LICENSE, AN APPLICANT SHALL
SIGN AND SUBMIT TO THE COMMISSIONER A VERIFIED APPLICATION
ON THE FORM THAT THE COMMISSIONER REQUIRES.

(2)   THE APPLICATION SHALL INCLUDE:

(I) THE APPLICANT'S NAME AND ADDRESS AND,
IF THE APPLICANT IS NOT AN INDIVIDUAL, THE NAMES AND
ADDRESSES OF EACH OF ITS PRINCIPAL OWNERS AND EACH OF ITS
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OR MEMBERS;

(II) THE ADDRESS AT WHICH THE BUSINESS IS
