REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (c)(1)(ii) and (iii) and (2), and (d)(2) of this

48A, § 181(e) and the second sentence of (d) and, as it related to renewal, the
first sentence of (d).

Subsection (b) of this section, which provides for renewal notice, is new
language added to conform to current practice of the Commissioner and to
similar provisions governing other State regulated occupations.

Subsection (c)(1)(i) of this section is new language added to state expressly
that which only was implied in the former law, i.e., to renew a license the
licensee must otherwise be entitled to a license.
