WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

Subsection (b)(2) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from former Art.
56, § 501(c).

In the introductory language of subsection (b) of this
section, the word "reinstate" is substituted for the
former word "renewal", to clarify the distinctions
between renewal of a license under § 5-316 of this
subtitle and reinstatement of a license under this
section.

The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that
the former law did not provide for reinstatement fees.
Thus, a cosmetologist who fails to renew a license for
a period of up to 5 years need only pay the regular
renewal fee under § 5-316 of this subtitle.

Defined terms: "Board" § 5-101
"License" § 5-101

5-318. TEMPORARY LICENSE.

THAT THE BOARD PROVIDES; AND

(3)  PAYS TO THE BOARD AN APPLICATION FEE OF $1.

HOLDER TO PRACTICE COSMETOLOGY.

(D) TERM.
