1997 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(C) FAILURE TO APPLY - PENALTY.

A CLERK WHO FAILS TO APPLY FOR BLANK LICENSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION SHALL PAY A PENALTY OF $1,000 FOR EACH
FAILURE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 17, §§ 66 and 68 and, as it related to §§ 66 and 68, §
69A.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to "the clerk of a circuit court"
is substituted for the former reference to "the clerks of the courts" for clarity
and to reflect that former Art. 17, §§ 66, 68, and 69A appeared under the
subheading "Clerks of Circuit Courts and Superior Court of Baltimore City".
Similarly, in subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "the clerk of a
circuit court" is substituted for the former term "they".

In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "Baltimore City" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of Art. 1, § 14, which provides that "[t]he word
county shall be construed to include the City of Baltimore, ..." and "[c]ircuit
court for the county includes the Circuit Court for Baltimore City...".

2-209. CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT.

(1) A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE MARYLAND WORKERS'

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 17, § 66A and, as it related to § 66A, § 69A.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to "the clerk of a circuit court"

subheading "Clerks of Circuit Courts and Superior Court of Baltimore City".
Similarly, in subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "the clerk of a
circuit court" is substituted for the former reference to "a clerk of the court".
