1996 LAWS OF MARYLAND

Defined terms: "Lawyer" § 24-101
"Policy" § 1-101
"Practice law" § 24-101
"Society" § 24-101

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE TO SUBTITLE:

Former Art. 48A, § 570(a), (b), (c), and (d), which required the Clerk of the Court
of Appeals to certify a list of all attorneys admitted to practice law in the State, levied a
special one-time tax of $150 for the privilege of practicing law in the State, established
penalties for failure to pay the tax, dedicated the proceeds of the tax, and required the
Treasurer and Comptroller to pay over the proceeds of the tax to the Society within 30
days, are transferred to the Session Laws because of their limited and diminishing

applicability. See Ch_______, Acts of 1997. The provisions are not obsolete at this time

because a lawyer could still be subject to the penalties imposed for not paying the tax and
also because a lawyer may be entitled to credit against liability for a membership fee. See
§ 24-108(c)(2) of this subtitle.

Former Art. 48A, § 573, which provided for an initial premium for policyholders of
the Society, is not retained in the Code because it is apparently obsolete. However, it is
transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any inadvertent substantive effect that it's repeal
might have. See Ch._____, Acts of 1997.
