HARRY HUGHES, Governor

1389

The first sentence of present NR § 8-607(h),
which refers in part to Board records being open
to public inspection, is deleted as unnecessarily
repetitive of independent provisions of law. See
Art. 76A, §§ 1(a) and 2(a) of the Code. The last
sentence of present NR § 8-607(h), which refers
to the use of Board records or proceedings as
admissible evidence, is deleted as unnecessary in
light of CJ § 10-204, which provides generally
for the use of records in court.

21-207. ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES; DISPOSITION OF FUNDS.

(A)  ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES.

EXCEPT FOR THE FEES SPECIFICALLY SET BY THIS TITLE, THE
BOARD MAY SET REASONABLE FEES FOR THE ISSUANCE AND RENEWAL
OF LICENSES AND ITS OTHER SERVICES.

(B)  DISPOSITION OF FUNDS.

THE BOARD SHALL PAY ANY FEE COLLECTED UNDER THIS TITLE
INTO THE GENERAL FUND OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
the general rulemaking authority of the Board in
the second sentence of NR § 8-607(d) and is
revised to clarify the authority of the Board --
under its broad rulemaking power — to set
reasonable fees for the services for which a fee
is not set in the present law.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from the first
sentence of NR § 8-607(f).

In subsection (b) of this section, the term
"Board" is substituted for "board secretary" in
light of Board practice and because the Board
currently does not employ a Board secretary.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the
present phrase "in the manner prescribed by rule
or regulation of the Comptroller" is deleted as
implicit in the requirement that the funds are
part of the General Fund of this State.

The last sentence of present NR § 8-607(f), which
states that the Board secretary be bonded as
required by the Comptroller, is deleted as
unnecessary since all State employees are covered
by a blanket bond.

SUBTITLE 3. LICENSING.
