WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor Ch. 647

Subsection (f) of this section is new language derived
from the fifteenth sentence of former Art. 56, §
449(a).

3-305. RECIPROCAL WAIVER OF LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR JOURNEY
PLUMBER OR MASTER PLUMBER.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION, THE BOARD MAY
WAIVE ANY OF THE QUALIFICATIONS FOR A JOURNEY PLUMBER LICENSE OR
A MASTER PLUMBER LICENSE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HOLDS A JOURNEY
PLUMBER LICENSE OR A MASTER PLUMBER LICENSE ISSUED BY BALTIMORE
COUNTY OR BY THE WASHINGTON SUBURBAN SANITARY COMMISSION.

(B)  CONDITIONS.

THE BOARD MAY GRANT A WAIVER UNDER THIS SECTION ONLY IF THE
APPLICANT:

(1)  PAYS THE APPROPRIATE LICENSE FEE REQUIRED UNDER §
3-306 OF THIS SUBTITLE;

(2)  HOLDS A LICENSE THAT IS SIMILAR' TO THE LICENSE
FOR WHICH THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING A WAIVER;

(3)  IF CONTRACTING TO PROVIDE PLUMBING SERVICES IN
THE NAME OF THE APPLICANT OR ANOTHER PERSON, SUBMITS PROOF OF THE
LIABILITY INSURANCE AS REQUIRED UNDER § 3-501 OF THIS TITLE; AND

(4)  PROVIDES ADEQUATE EVIDENCE THAT THE APPLICANT:

(I)  MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS OTHERWISE REQUIRED
BY THIS SUBTITLE; AND

(II)  AT THE TIME, THE APPLICANT BECAME LICENSED
IN BALTIMORE COUNTY OR BY THE WASHINGTON SUBURBAN SANITARY
COMMISSION, THE APPLICANT:

- 4343 -

In subsection (e) of this section, the former phrase
"for a certificate" is deleted as misleading since,
under the former law, a "certificate" referred to a
certificate of a master plumber. The former law
provided for the examination of applicants to be
either journey plumbers or master plumbers. Thus, any
right of an applicant to review the applicant's
examination would apply to both the journey plumber
examination and the master plumber examination.
