Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

(1)  THE APPLICANT:

(I)  IS OF GOOD CHARACTER AND REPUTATION; AND

(II)  PAYS TO THE BOARD AN APPLICATION FEE NOT
EXCEEDING $100, AS SET BY THE BOARD; AND

(2)  THE BOARD RECEIVES FROM THE COUNCIL A CERTIFIED
COPY OF ITS CERTIFICATE FOR THE APPLICANT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b)(2) and (3), and
(c)(1)(ii) and (2) of this section are new language
derived without substantive change from former Art.
56, § 468(c), the first clause of § 466(h), and item
(2) of the second sentence of § 472(a).

Subsections (b)(1) and (c)(l)(i) of this section are
new language added to conform to § 3-303(b) of this
subtitle and, thus, to clarify that only the
examination requirement is waived under this section.

In subsections (a)(1) and (b) of this section, the
word "licensed" is substituted for the former
references to "registered" and "registration", for
consistency and conformity to changes in terminology
made throughout this article. See the General
Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsections (b)(2) and (c)(1)(ii) of this section,
the references to an "application fee" are substituted
for the former references to "all fees" and to a fee
for "[i]ssuance of registration by reciprocity", since
the applicant pays one fee, at the time of
application.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the phrase "in
that or any other state or country" is added to
provide expressly that the Board may waive the
examination requirements for an architect on the basis
of a license that, in turn, was acquired by waiver on
the basis of licensure in another state or country.
This phrase, which is included in comparable
provisions throughout the Code and which conforms to
the practice of the Board, allows the Board to give
fair consideration under this section to an architect
who, in the course of a professional career, practices
in several states or countries before moving to this
State to practice.

Defined terms: "Board" § 3-101

"Council" § 3-301 "Practice architecture" § 3-101
