LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 33

SHALL BE HELD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURE ACT.

(C) SPECIFIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR SUSPENSION OR
REVOCATION.

FOR A HEARING ON THE PROPOSED SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION
OF A LICENSE, THE HEARING NOTICE TO BE GIVEN TO THE LICENSEE
SHALL BE MAILED AT LEAST 20 DAYS BEFORE THE HEARING TO THE
PLACE OF BUSINESS STATED IN THE LICENSE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from the references to a hearing in Art. 11, §§
213 and 218(a).

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
added to advise the reader of the general
applicability of the Administrative Procedure
Act, Art. 41, § 244 et seq. of the Code.

As to subsection (c) of this section, present
Art. 11, § 218(a) seems to require 20 days'
notice before the Bank Commissioner revokes a
license; given the hearing requirement, however,
it appears more logical that this be revised as
the minimum notice relative to the hearing
itself, rather than advance notice of the
revocation. The present requirement that the
notice state "the contemplated action and in
general the grounds therefor" is deleted as
unnecessary under subsection (b) of this section
and the general, more inclusive requirements of
the Administrative Procedure Act, in Art. 41, §
251 of the Code.

12-422. JUDICIAL REVIEW.

ANY PERSON WHO IS AGGRIEVED BY ANY DECISION OR FINDING
OF THE BANK COMMISSIONER UNDER THIS SUBTITLE MAY APPEAL:

(1)   TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE COUNTY IN WHICH
THE AGGRIEVED PERSON RESIDES OR HAS A PRINCIPAL PLACE OF
BUSINESS; OR

(2)   IF THE AGGRIEVED PERSON RESIDES OR HAS A
PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN BALTIMORE CITY, TO THE
BALTIMORE CITY COURT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as Art.
11, § 220.

This section is revised to conform the venue to
the broader venue provided for in the
Administrative Procedure Act (Art. 41, § 255(b)).

The only other changes are in style.
