2. $30 FOR A JOURNEY PLUMBER LICENSE OR A
LIMITED JOURNEY PLUMBER LICENSE.

(B) ISSUANCE.

ON PAYMENT OF THE APPROPRIATE LICENSE FEE AND, IF
APPLICABLE, RECEIPT OF THE PROOF OF THE INSURANCE REQUIRED UNDER
§ 12-501 OF THIS TITLE, THE BOARD SHALL ISSUE A LICENSE TO EACH
APPLICANT WHO MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 56A,
§ 3-306.

In subsection (a)(2)(ii) of this section, the
references to fees of $75 and $30 are substituted for
the former references to $30 and $15, respectively, to
give effect to changes made to former Art. 56, §§ 450
and 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 hot contain a comparable directive
for plumbers. Nonetheless, it seemed to be the intent
of the General Assembly that the changes in fees for
master or journey plumber licenses and limited
licenses be effective beyond October 1, 1988, when the
relevant provisions amended by Ch. 28 -- i.e., former
Art. 56, §§ 450 and 453(b) -- were repealed by Ch.
647, Acts of 1988, and replaced by, inter alia, former
Art. 56A, § 3-306. Accordingly, the changes are
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.

The only other changes are in style.
