REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b), and (d) of this
section are new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 56, § 429(b), (c), and the
first and third sentences of (d).

Subsection (c) of this section is new language
substituted for the second sentence of former Art. 56,
§ 437(b), as it related to the duty of the Board to
"investigate the application". This substitution
conforms to the practice of the Board.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase "to
conduct inspections" is substituted for the former
phrase "to carry out duties assigned to them by the
Board", for brevity and clarity.

In subsection (a)(3) of this section, the reference to
the "Standard State Travel Regulations" is substituted
for the former reference to "reasonable" expenses
"incurred in the performance of official duties". See
SF § 10-203 and COMAR 23.02.01.01 through 12.
