13-404. CERTIFICATION OF QUALIFIED APPLICANTS.

THE SUPERINTENDENT SHALL CERTIFY AS A PRIVATE DETECTIVE EACH
INDIVIDUAL WHO MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 56,
§ 569(a).

Former Art. 56, § 569(b), which required 5 days'
notice of a disapproval of an application, is deleted
as unnecessary in light of § 13-411(d) of this
subtitle. Under § 13-409 of this subtitle, the
Superintendent may deny an application, on the bases
of certain grounds, but only after notice of and an
opportunity for a hearing on the contemplated action.
That notice requirement specifies 10 days' notice
before the hearing, § 13-411(d), and implicitly
requires notice of the final action in light of the
right to judicial review under § 13-206 of this title.

No other changes are made.
