LAWS OF MARYLAND

(A)  IN GENERAL.

(1)  SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION, THE FOLLOWING
INDIVIDUALS MAY PRACTICE LAND SURVEYING WITHOUT A LICENSE:

(I)  AN EMPLOYEE OR OTHER SUBORDINATE OF A
PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYOR; AND

(II)  AN EMPLOYEE OF AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOT
LICENSED BUT IS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS TITLE TO PRACTICE
LAND SURVEYING WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

(2)  SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION, THE FOLLOWING
INDIVIDUALS MAY PRACTICE PROPERTY LINE SURVEYING WITHOUT A
LICENSE:

(I)  AN EMPLOYEE OR OTHER SUBORDINATE OF A
LICENSED PROPERTY LINE SURVEYOR; AND

(II)  AN EMPLOYEE OF AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS NOT
LICENSED BUT IS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS TITLE TO PRACTICE
PROPERTY LINE SURVEYING WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

(B)  CONDITIONS.

THE AUTHORITY TO PRACTICE LAND SURVEYING OR PROPERTY LINE
SURVEYING UNDER THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY IF THE LICENSEE OR
OTHER AUTHORIZED INDIVIDUAL HAS, WITH RESPECT TO THE
INVESTIGATION, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND OPERATION OF THE
SURVEYING WORK OF THE EMPLOYEE OR OTHER SUBORDINATE, DIRECT
CONTROL AND PERSONAL DIRECTION THAT REQUIRES INITIATIVE,
PROFESSIONAL SKILL, AND INDEPENDENT JUDGMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §
344(2) and the first sentence of § 330(i).

In subsection (b) of this section, the substance of
the first sentence of former Art. 56, § 330(i), which
defined "responsible charge", is substituted for the
former reference to "direct responsibility and
supervision", for consistency. The former defined
term did not appear elsewhere and, therefore, a
separate definition was unnecessary.

The second sentence of former Art. 56, § 330(i), which
allowed "[r]esponsible land surveying teaching" to be
construed as responsible charge, is deleted as the
term is not defined or used in this title.

Defined terms: "License" § 15-101
"Licensed property line surveyor" § 15-101
"Practice land surveying" § 15-101
