LAWS OF MARYLAND

(2)  KEEP A RECORD THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PASSED THE
EXAMINATION; AND

(3)  ISSUE TO THE INDIVIDUAL A CERTIFICATE THAT STATES
THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PASSED THE EXAMINATION AND THAT SETS FORTH:

(I)  THE FULL NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL;

(II)  THE TERMINATION DATE OF THE CERTIFICATE,
AS PROVIDED UNDER ITEM (1) OF THIS SUBSECTION;

(III)  A CERTIFICATE NUMBER ASSIGNED BY THE
BOARD TO THE INDIVIDUAL; AND

(IV)  THE SIGNATURES OF THE CHAIRMAN AND
SECRETARY OF THE BOARD, UNDER SEAL OF THE BOARD.

(F) RIGHTS ON FAILURE OF EXAMINATION.

IF AN INDIVIDUAL TAKES AND FAILS A FUNDAMENTALS OF
ENGINEERING EXAMINATION UNDER THIS SECTION, THE INDIVIDUAL SHALL
HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS REGARDING NOTICE, REVIEW PROCEDURES, AND
REEXAMINATION PROVIDED TO AN APPLICANT UNDER §§ 14-308 AND 14-309
OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language substituted
for former Art. 75 1/2, § 2(d), § 12(c), the second
sentence of (b)(1), and, as they related to an
engineer-in-training, (a) and (e), the second sentence
and, as they related to an engineer-in-training, the
third and fourth sentences of § 13(a), the second and
third sentences of § 14(a), and the third sentence
and, as they related to an engineer-in-training, the
first and fourth sentences of § 15(a).

On analysis, the Business Occupations Article Review
Committee found that the substantive effect of all of
these former provisions merely was to authorize an
individual who meets certain qualifications to take 1
of the 2 required engineering examinations (the
fundamentals of engineering examination) at an earlier
time than would otherwise be allowed. The Committee
also found that the former provisions were
unnecessarily complicated and awkward. In particular,
the Committee found that their inadvertent emphasis on
the individual who passed the examination tended to
lead the reader to the erroneous impression that, if
an individual were registered as an
engineer-in-training, the individual was licensed to
practice at least some aspect of engineering, even
without the supervision otherwise required for an
unlicensed individual under § 14-303 of this subtitle.
