Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the phrase "[o]n
payment of the license fee" is added to state
expressly that the license fee must be paid before a
license is issued.

The second clause of former Art. 56, § 466(i), as that
clause required 4 votes for the issuance of a license,
is deleted as erroneous. While members of the Board
may participate in determining whether an applicant
meets the requirements for the issuance of a license
under this subtitle, the Board does not have the
discretion, by a vote, to deny a license to a
qualified applicant.
