HARRY HUGHES, Governor                                         1329

IF, AT LEAST 2 CALENDAR WEEKS BEFORE A LICENSE EXPIRES, THE
LICENSEE MAKES SUFFICIENT APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF THE LICENSE,
THE LICENSE DOES NOT EXPIRE UNTIL:

(1)  THE UNIT TAKES FINAL ACTION ON THE APPLICATION;
AND

(2)  EITHER:

(I)  THE TIME FOR SEEKING JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE
ACTION EXPIRES; OR

(II)  ANY JUDICIAL STAY OF THE UNIT'S FINAL
ACTION EXPIRES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, §
250A(b).

In the introductory language of this section, the word
"existing", which formerly modified the word
"license", is deleted as surplusage.

In item (2)(ii) of this section, the reference to a
"stay of the ... action" is substituted for the former
phrase "without being extended", which seemed to
modify, incorrectly, the reference to "the time for
seeking judicial review".

Defined terms: "License" § 10-401
"Unit" § 10-401

(2)  AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.

A UNIT MAY ORDER SUMMARILY THE SUSPENSION OF A LICENSE IF
THE UNIT:

(1) FINDS THAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, OR WELFARE
