Ch. 3

A LICENSEE SERVING ON ACTIVE DUTY IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE
UNITED STATES IS EXEMPT FROM THE RENEWAL FEE REQUIRED BY THIS
SECTION.

(E) ISSUANCE OF RENEWAL.

THE BOARD SHALL RENEW THE LICENSE OF EACH LICENSEE WHO MEETS
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b)(2)(i) and (iii), and
(c)(2) of this section are new language derived
without substantive change from the first through
third sentences of former Art. 56, § 314.

Subsections (b)(1) and (c)(3) of this section are
standard language added to reflect that applications
for renewal may be made only on the form that the
Board provides.

Subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section is new language
added to conform to the practice of the Board and to
the requirements of similar notice provisions for
other occupations that are regulated by the State
under this and other articles of the Code.

Subsection (c)(1) of this section is standard language
added to state expressly that which only was implied
in the former law -- i.e., other licensing
requirements of this title apply to any renewal under
this section.

Subsection (d) of this section is new language
substituted for the fourth sentence of former Art. 56,
§ 314, which required an "exception to the foregoing
renewal provision" for licensees serving in the armed
forces, to clarify that only the fee requirement is
waived and only for licensees on active duty.

Subsection (e) of this section is standard language
added to state expressly that which only was implied
in the former law -- i.e., the Board must renew the
license of a qualified licensee.
