Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that
there are no penalties provided for violation of the
prohibitions against a firm providing architectural
services without a permit and misrepresentation by a
firm that it is authorized under §§ 3-602 and 3-604 of
this subtitle to provide architectural services.
Since the absence of penalties does not seem
deliberate and may make enforcement of the
prohibitions impossible, the General Assembly may wish
to consider adding penalties for violation of those
prohibitions.

Defined term: "Person" § 1-101

SUBTITLE 7. SHORT TITLE; TERMINATION OF TITLE.

3-701. SHORT TITLE.

THIS TITLE MAY BE CITED AS THE "MARYLAND ARCHITECTS ACT".

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to
conform to similar sections in other titles of this
article and to provide a convenient reference to this
title.

Defined term: "Architect" § 3-101

3-702. TERMINATION OF TITLE.

SUBJECT TO THE EVALUATION AND REESTABLISHMENT PROVISIONS OF
THE MARYLAND PROGRAM EVALUATION ACT, THIS TITLE AND ALL
REGULATIONS ADOPTED UNDER THIS TITLE SHALL TERMINATE AND BE OF NO
EFFECT AFTER JULY 1, 1993.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, § 478.

As to the Md. Program Evaluation Act, see Title 8,
Subtitle 4 of the State Government Article.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Art. 56, § 476, which provided for the severability
of the provisions of former Art. 56, §§ 463 through 468, is
deleted as unnecessary in light of Art. 1, § 23 of the Code.

Former Art. 56, § 477, which provided for the repeal of laws
inconsistent with the provisions of former Art. 56, §§ 463
through 478 but limited the effects on certain principal
departments, is deleted since it serves no apparent purpose and
is potentially misleading.
