HARRY HUGHES, Governor

1383

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from NR §
8-609(b).

In subsection (b) of this section, the term
"master plumber" is substituted for "registered
master plumber" to conform to the terminology
used in Art. 43, §§ 326 through 338C.

For other provisions that relate to the scope of
this title see §§ 21-401 and 21-402 of this
title.

The first sentence of NR § 8-609(a), which
provides that only the Board has authority to
issue licenses, is deleted as unnecessary.

SUBTITLE 2. STATE BOARD OF WELL DRILLERS.

21-201. BOARD ESTABLISHED.

THERE IS A STATE BOARD OF WELL DRILLERS IN THE
DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as NR §
8-607(a).

The word "Maryland" is deleted from the Board
title to avoid the use of the duplicative terms
"Maryland" and "State" and to correspond with
other health occupation board designations used
in this article.

The only other changes are in style.

21-202. MEMBERSHIP.
