GENERAL COMMITTEE COMMENT:

As part of the ongoing revision of the Maryland laws, the
Division of Statutory Revision of the Department of Legislative
Reference reviewed the laws that regulate electricians with the
intention of revising those laws in the proposed Business
Occupations Article. The mandate of the Division is to rewrite
the laws in a more organized, concise, and readable manner,
without making substantive changes. The objective is to clarify
the existing laws, but not to change their legal effect.
