(G) THE SECRETARY MAY DETERMINE THAT LICENSES ISSUED UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE SHALL EXPIRE ON A STAGGERED BASIS.

Article 4 - Baltimore City

4-2.

The Board has general supervision of all stationary engineers within the State,
except as hereinafter provided. The Board shall examine all engineers who are 18 years
old or older and apply for examination and shall give all parties so examined a certificate
of proficiency if found proficient, and refuse to give a certificate if not found proficient.
Each person applying for the examination shall pay an application fee set by the Board,
which may not exceed the cost of administering the required examination. Each person
receiving the certificate shall pay to the Board $15 for the certificate issued and $30 for all
renewals of all grades. The certificate shall be of four grades: a certificate of the first
grade will permit the holder to take charge of any plant of machinery; the second grade to
take charge of any plant machinery from one to five hundred horse-power; the third
grade to take charge of any plant of machinery from one to thirty horse-power; and the
fourth grade to take charge of any hoisting or portable plant of machinery. The certificate
shall be renewed biennially on or before the first day of February of each odd-numbered
year, UNLESS THE SECRETARY OF LABOR, LICENSING, AND REGULATION
DETERMINES THAT THE CERTIFICATES SHALL BE RENEWED ON A STAGGERED
BASIS. An engineer holding a certificate may not have charge of more than one plant of
machinery at the same time unless the plant is of the same company and at one and the
same place. A substitute who has not been examined and received a certificate may not be
placed in charge of machinery by any engineer who has.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take effect
