Ch. 3

(2) THE BOARD MAY REINSTATE A LICENSE UNDER PARAGRAPH
(1)(II) OF THIS SUBSECTION ONLY IF THE INDIVIDUAL:

(I)  MEETS THE RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS OF § 14-314
OF THIS SUBTITLE;

(II)  IF REQUIRED BY THE BOARD, STATES REASONS
WHY REINSTATEMENT SHOULD BE GRANTED; AND

(III)  PAYS TO THE BOARD A REINSTATEMENT FEE OF
$20.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a)(1) and (3) and (b)(1) and
(2)(ii) and (iii) of this section are new language
derived without substantive change from the seventh
through ninth sentences of former Art. 75 1/2, § 13(b)
and, as it related to payment of fees to the Board,
the first sentence of § 9.

Subsections (a)(2) and (b)(2)(i) of this section are
standard language added to state expressly that which
only was implied in the former law -- i.e., an
engineer must comply with the renewal requirements of
this title before the Board may reinstate the expired
license of the engineer.

"reinstate" is substituted for the former word
"renew[ed]", to clarify distinctions between renewal
of a license under § 14-314 of this subtitle and
reinstatement of a license under this section.

In subsection (a)(3) of this section, the former
reference to a fee of "$30" to be paid on application
for renewal during the first 2 years after expiration
of the license is revised for clarity to provide for
the payment of a $10 reinstatement fee that is to be
paid in addition to the renewal fee, which, under §
14-314 of this subtitle, is $20.

In subsection (b)(2)(iii) of this section, the
specific amount of $20 is substituted for the former
general language that provided that the reinstatement
fee "shall be the same as the registration fee". The
"registration fee" under former Art. 75 1/2, § 13(a)
was $20. See § 14-312 of this subtitle.

The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that
the $20 fee set forth under subsection (b)(2)(iii) of
this section does not seem to be in proportion to the
other fees set under this subtitle. The fee for a
