(E) REACTIVATION.

COMMITTEE COMMENT: Subsections (a)(1), (d)(3)(iii), and
(e)(2) of this section are new language added to state
expressly that which only was implied in the former
law — i.e., an individual must apply for inactive
status, renewal, and reactivation on the forms that
the State Board provides.

Subsection (a)(2) of this section is new language
added to reflect the current practice of the State
Board to charge an inactive status application fee.
This addition also reflects the current practice of
the State Board to charge an electrical inspector who
changes his status from electrical inspector inactive
to individual inactive. However, an electrical
inspector who places a State license on inactive
status is not charged a fee. See § 2-313 of this
subtitle as to electrical inspectors.

Subsections (a)(3), (d)(3)(ii), and (e)(3) of this
section are new language that, in part, is derived
