SUBCOMMITTEE COMMENT: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived in part without substantive change
from the first and second clauses of the first
sentence of former Art. 56, § 221(a). The defined
term "license", which includes an associate real
estate broker license, as well as a real estate
salesperson license and a real estate broker license,
is substituted for the former language "licenses as
real estate broker or real estate salesman" for
brevity and in conformity with provisions added
throughout this title to provide a licensing scheme
for associate real estate brokers. See the General
Subcommittee Comment to this title.

Subsections (b) and (c)(1) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from
former Art. 56, § 221(c).
