WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

(B) COMPENSATION OF BOARD.

THE COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD SHALL BE PAYABLE ONLY OUT OF
THE MONEY THAT THE BOARD COLLECTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 74, §
1(e)(1) and the second clause of (2).

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to collection of payments under former Art.
74, § 13 is deleted as erroneous since the payments
are made to the pilot.

Defined term: "Board" § 11-101

11-207. ADDITIONAL OATH.

BEFORE A MEMBER OF THE BOARD MAY EXAMINE AN APPLICANT FOR A
LICENSE, THE MEMBER SHALL TAKE THE FOLLOWING OATH:

"I, __________, DO (SWEAR) (AFFIRM) THAT I WILL IMPARTIALLY

EXAMINE AND INQUIRE INTO THE CAPACITY, SKILL AND EXPERIENCE OF
THE APPLICANT OR APPLICANTS IN PROVIDING PILOTAGE AND WILL ADMIT
THEM AS I FIND THEM QUALIFIED OR REJECT THEM IF I SHALL FIND THEM
UNQUALIFIED, WITHOUT FAVOR OR REWARD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 74,
§ 5.

The reference to "affirm" is added in light of Art. 1,
§ 9 of the Code, which allows an individual who is
conscientiously scrupulous of taking an oath to make
an affirmation, and Md. Rule 1-303, which provides
that an individual taking an oath may either swear or
affirm.

The defined term "license" is substituted for the
former obsolete term "warrant", to conform to
terminology used throughout this title.

The defined term "provid[ing] pilotage" is substituted
for the former language "the art of piloting in the
Chesapeake Bay and the rivers thereof", to conform to
terminology used throughout this title.

The former reference to "affection" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the reference to "favor".

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Board" § 11-101
