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 any of the prohibited acts listed in
Subtitle 6 of this title. Since the absence of penalties may not
have been deliberate and may make enforcement of the prohibitions
impossible, the General Assembly may wish to add penalties for a
violation of any of the prohibited acts.
Former Art. 56, § 275 set forth a "grandfather" provision
that required the Board to waive the examination requirement for
certain applicants practicing in this State and allowed the Board
to waive the examination requirement for certain applicants
licensed to practice landscape architecture in other states.
Former Art. 56, § 275(a) expressly applied only to
applications made within 6 months after July 1, 1971, but former
§ 275(b) did not state an effective period. However, the Board
has treated former § 275(b) as an extension of § 275(a) and
applied both to applications made within 6 months after July 1,
1971.
Although former Art. 56, § 275 was transitory in effect and
the intended purposes already have been served, the provisions of
that former section have not been repealed. Rather, to avoid any
possible argument that there is no authority to continue to
license the individuals whose examinations were waived under
former § 275, those provisions are transferred to the Session
Laws.
Former Art. 56, § 281, which provided for the severability
of the provisions of this title, is deleted as unnecessary in
light of Art. 1, § 23 of the Code.
