WITHOUT LICENSE.

(A)  PROVIDING PLUMBING SERVICES WITHOUT LICENSE.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE, A PERSON MAY NOT
PROVIDE, ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE, OR OFFER TO PROVIDE PLUMBING
SERVICES UNLESS LICENSED BY THE BOARD TO PROVIDE PLUMBING
SERVICES.

COMMITTEE COMMENT: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived from the third clause of the first
sentence of former Art. 56, § 446. Subsection (a) of
this section is revised to apply to a master plumber
or a journey plumber, holding limited or full
licenses, albeit the former clause seemed, on its
face, to be limited to a master plumber.

Subsection (b) of this section is standard language
added to state a fundamental prohibition implicit
throughout the former provisions of Art. 56, that
related to an individual who assists in providing
plumbing services — i.e., an apprentice plumber.

In subsection (a) of this section, the words "attempt"
and "offer" are added to conform to similar provisions
governing other regulated occupations in the Code.

As to the referenced exceptions, see §§ 3-103, 3-104,
and 3-301 of this title.

Defined terms: "Board" § 3-101
