REGULATION ARTICLE.

ON OR BEFORE THE FIRST MONDAY OF JUNE AND DECEMBER OF EACH YEAR,
THE CLERK OF A CIRCUIT COURT SHALL RETURN TO THE COMPTROLLER, UNDER
OATH, AN ACCOUNT OF THE LICENSES ISSUED BY THE CLERK, WHICH STATES:

(1) THE NUMBER OF LICENSES ISSUED OF EACH GRADE AND KIND;

(2) THE DATE EACH LICENSE WAS ISSUED;

(3) THE AMOUNT OF MONEY RECEIVED FOR EACH LICENSE;

(4) THE PERSON TO WHOM EACH LICENSE WAS ISSUED; AND

(5) THE NUMBER, GRADE, AND DESCRIPTION OF ALL BLANK LICENSES

IF A CLERK FAILS TO MAKE AN ACCOUNT TO THE COMPTROLLER IN

(1) CHARGE THE CLERK WITH THE ENTIRE COST OF BLANK LICENSES
DELIVERED TO THE CLERK AT THE RATE FIXED BY LAW; AND

(2) IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS, DIRECT A SUIT TO BE BROUGHT

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 17, §§ 67 and 69 and, as it related to §§ 67 and 69, §
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, §§ 67, 69, 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 term "list" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the term "account".
