Ch. 563

LAWS OF MARYLAND

or a real estate salesperson on inactive status if the
associate broker or salesperson has ceased to be
affiliated with the licensed real estate broker whose
firm is named in the license certificate of the
associate broker or salesperson.

In subsection (c) of this section, the sixth sentence
of former Art. 56, § 217 is deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (e) of this section, new language is
added to state expressly that which was only implied
in the former law — i.e., that to have a license
reactivated an associate real estate broker or a real
estate salesperson shall submit to the Commission
adequate evidence that the associate broker or
salesperson has obtained from a licensed real estate
broker a commitment providing that the associate
broker or salesperson shall become affiliated with the
broker on reactivation of the license of the associate
broker or salesperson.

Also in subsection (e) of this section, the word
"shall" is substituted for the former word "may" to
clarify that the Commission has a duty to reactivate
the license of a licensee who meets the requirements
of this section.

Also in subsection (e) of this section, the former
language that provided that a license may be
reinstated "30 days after a request for reinstatement"
is deleted as obsolete, since, in practice, the
Commission reactivates licenses in less than 30 days.
