Former Art. 56A, § 2-104, which provided that,
"[e]xcept for Allegany County, this title does not
impose an additional requirement for holding a State
license in an instance in which a local license is not
required", similarly is deleted as obsolete.

Defined terms: "County" § 1-101
"Master electrician" § 6-101
"Provide electrical services" § 6-101
"State license" § 6-101

6-302. SCOPE OF STATE LICENSE.

UNDER §§ 6-601 AND 6-602 OF THIS TITLE.

(B)  JURISDICTIONS WITHOUT LOCAL LICENSE.

IF A COUNTY DOES NOT REQUIRE A LOCAL LICENSE, THE STATE
LICENSE, WHILE THE STATE LICENSE IS IN EFFECT, AUTHORIZES THE
LICENSEE TO:

(1) PROVIDE ELECTRICAL SERVICES AS A MASTER
ELECTRICIAN; OR
