WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

Subsection (c)(3) and the clause "until a successor is
appointed and qualifies" in subsection (c)(4) of this
section are standard language added to avoid gaps in
membership by indicating that a member serves until a
successor takes office. These additions are supported
by the cases of Benson v. Mellor, 152 Md. 481 (1927),
and Grooms v. LaVale Zoning Board, 27 Md. App. 266
(1975).

In subsection (d) of this section, the former
provision that called for a quorum of 4 members is
restated, without substantive change, in more general
language that refers to "[a] majority of the
authorized membership of the Board". This language
conforms to similar provisions in other titles of this
article and will accommodate possible future
legislative changes in the number of members to be
appointed to the Board, without the necessity of
enacting a conforming change here.

Defined terms: "Board" § 10-101
"Lawyer" § 10-101

10-203. DISPOSITION OF MONEY.

THE BOARD SHALL PAY ALL MONEY COLLECTED UNDER THIS TITLE
INTO THE GENERAL FUND OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 10, §
3(d)(2).

Defined term: "Board" § 10-101

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE TO PART I:

The State Board of Law Examiners is governed by the Court of
Appeals rather than the Department of Licensing and Regulation,
which governs all but one of the other occupational licensing
boards under this article. As a result, this Part I of this
subtitle does not include some of the provisions on procedures
and staff that appear in other licensing laws in this article.
Matters such as compensation and functions of the Board are
addressed by rules adopted by the Court of Appeals. See the
Rules Governing Admission to the Bar.
