LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

(I)  WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE SUSPENSION, THE
FINDING, AND THE REASONS THAT SUPPORT THE FINDING; AND

(II)  AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.

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

In the introductory clauses of subsections (a) and (b)
of this section, the defined term "unit" is
substituted for the former phrase "agency official or
employee", to conform to § 10-404 of this subtitle.

Also in the introductory clause of subsection (a) of
this section, the former words "annul" and "withdraw"
are deleted as unnecessary in light of the use of the
word "revoke".

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase
"suspension or revocation" is substituted for the
former phrase "such action", for clarity.

In subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the
reference to an "opportunity" to be heard is
substituted for the former reference to "pending a
hearing", since the licensee may waive the hearing.

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