WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 647

the application and the time for appeal has run.
Under both § 3-313 of this subtitle and SG § 10-405,
ordinarily the Board must give the licensee an
opportunity for a hearing before taking disciplinary
action under this section. If the Board finds grounds
for disciplinary action, it may suspend or revoke the
license, and there is no need for a power to refuse
renewal.

In items (3), (4), and (6) of this section, the
defined term "provid[ing] plumbing services" is
substituted for the former references to performance
of "plumbing work" and selling or estimating "plumbing
work to be performed", to conform to changes in
terminology made throughout this title.

In item (4) of this section, the defined term "State
Plumbing Code" is substituted for the former reference
to the "plumbing code of the Board" for clarity and
conformity to changes in terminology made throughout
this title. Similarly, the reference to the "local
plumbing code of Baltimore County or the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission" is substituted for the
former reference to the plumbing code of "any
subdivision or official body of this State".

In items (6) and (7) of this section, the references
to "holder of a limited master plumber license" are
added in conformity with provisions throughout this
title that apply to holders of limited master plumber
licenses. See the General Committee Comment to this
title.
