12-303. APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES.

AN APPLICANT FOR A LICENSE SHALL:

(1) SUBMIT TO THE BOARD AN APPLICATION
THAT THE BOARD PROVIDES; AND

ON THE FORM

(2) PAY TO THE BOARD AN APPLICATION FEE OF:

(I)  $20 FOR A MASTER PLUMBER LICENSE;

(II)  $10 FOR A JOURNEY PLUMBER LICENSE; OR

(III)  $15 FOR AN APPRENTICE PLUMBER LICENSE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 56A,
§ 3-303.

In item (2)(iii) of this section, the reference to a
$15 fee is substituted for the former reference to a
$5 fee, to give effect to the change made to former
Art. 56, § 453(b) by Ch. 28, Acts of 1988. Section 2
of Ch. 28 specifically directed the publishers of the
Annotated Code to incorporate similar changes in fees
for real estate brokers into the relevant provisions
of Art. 56A but did not contain a comparable directive
for plumbers. Nonetheless, it seemed to be the intent
of the General Assembly that the changes in fees for
apprentice plumber be effective beyond October 1,
1988, when the relevant provisions amended by Ch. 28
i.e., former Art. 56, § 453(b) -- were repealed by
Ch. 647, Acts of 1988, and replaced by, inter alia,
Art. 56A, § 3-303. Accordingly, the change is
incorporated into this section. As to the period from
October 1, 1988, through the effective date of this
section, October 1, 1989, see Ch. ___, Acts of 1989.
