[(1)] (A) The application of a minor for a license shall be
cosigned by:

[(ii)] (2) If the applicant has no parent or guardian
or is married, [by] an adult employer of the applicant or any
other responsible adult.

[(2)] (B) The individual cosigning the application of a

16-111.2.

(b) If the applicant for a driver's license is under the
age of 18 and is the holder of a provisional driver's license,
the applicant is entitled to receive a driver's license if the
applicant:

(1)  Has possessed a valid provisional driver's
license for the six-month period immediately preceding the date
of the application for a driver's license; AND

(2)  Has not been convicted of a traffic violation
that was committed during this period and for which points may be

16-205.1.

(f) (4) After the hearing, the Administration shall suspend
the driver's license or privilege to drive if the Administration
determines that the driver was charged as set forth in subsection
(b) or (c) OF THIS SECTION and refused to take a chemical test
for alcohol. Failure of the driver to attend the hearing is
prima facie evidence of the driver's inability to answer the
sworn statement of the police officer, and the Administration
summarily shall suspend the driver's license or privilege to
drive. The suspension imposed may be not less than 60 days nor
more than 6 months for a first offense and may not be less than
120 days nor more than 1 year for a second or subsequent offense.

Administration may assess the owner of the vehicle with a penalty
of $100 for each vehicle without the required security for a
period of 1 to 30 days. If a fine is assessed, beginning on the
31st day the fine shall increase by a rate of $2 for each day.

(2) A penalty assessed under this subsection shall be
paid to the uninsured section of the Maryland Automobile
Insurance Fund except that the Administration may deduct 10
