Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

partnership or corporation is authorized to practice
certified public accountancy. See former Art. 75A, §
2-405 -- now § 2-405 of this subtitle. In light of
the provisions for termination and renewal of licenses
in former Art. 75A, § 2-407 -- now § 2-407 of this
subtitle -- provisions for surrender of expired
documents and for their return at the end of a
suspension period seem unnecessary. Accordingly, in
subsection (c) of this section, the words "permit
certificate" are substituted for the former word
"document".

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Board" § 2-101
"License" § 2-101 "Permit" § 2-101
