(C)  DISPOSITION OF FUNDS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the reference to
fees in Art. 43, § 804(1) and from Art. 43, §
805(a), (b), and (c).

Subsection (a)(1) of this section is revised to
clarify the authority of the Board — under its
broad rulemaking powers -- to set reasonable fees
for the services for which a fee is not set in
the present law. Although the present law, Art.
43, § 793(a), refers only to the establishment of
fees for "applicants", it should not be read to
preclude the Board from imposing fees in other
appropriate instances. See, e.g., the first
sentence of present Art. 43, § 795(a), which
refers to a license fee.

As to subsection (c) of this section, the last
sentence of present Art. 43, § 805(c), which
requires that disbursement of funds be in
accordance with Art. III, §§32 and 52 of the
