LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 296

Also in subsection (c)(1) of this section, the term
"obtain" is substituted for the former term "demand,"
for clarity.

Also in subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former
phrase "or of any minister, before performing a
ceremony pursuant to publication, or of the witnesses
at a Quaker ceremony", is deleted as obsolete.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the word
"clerk's" is new language added for clarity.

In the introductory language of subsection (e) of this
section, the former term "sufficient" is deleted as
included in the phrase "good cause".

In subsection (f) of this section, the term "reason"
is substituted for the former term "impediment", for
clarity.

Also in subsection (f) of this section, the former
phrase "under the laws of this State" is deleted as
unnecessary.

In subsection (i)(l)(ii) of this section, the phrase
"of the circuit court for the county in which the
application is made" is new language added for
clarity.

Also in subsection (i)(l)(ii) of this section,
"deliver" is substituted for the former language
"issue or deliver", to conform to practice.

In subsection (i)(2) of this section, the phrase "is
guilty of a misdemeanor" is new language added for
clarity.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that the phrase
"licensed physician" is carried over in this section
from former Article 62, §§ 9 and 10. The issue
presented by the use of this phrase is discussed in
the Revisor's Note to § 2-301 of this title.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code also
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that
former Article 62, § 12 provided for withholding of a
license only for an impediment that is discovered by
the clerk during the examination for the license. The
General Assembly may wish to expand the statute to
allow the clerk to withhold the license for an
impediment that the clerk discovers from any source at
any time before the clerk issues the license. This
expansion could be accomplished by deleting the words
"during the questioning of an applicant for a license"
in subsection (f) of this section.
