Ch. 5

clarify that a person would be disqualified from obtaining a license only for
the reasons relating to that particular license.

Subsection (c)(1) of this section is added to clarify what was implicit in the
former law, i.e., that an applicant to possess explosives for use in firearms
need not have sufficient experience in handling explosives and be
supervised satisfactorily in handling explosives.

In the introductory language of subsection (d) of this section, the former
word "permit" is deleted as unnecessary. The only permit provided for in
this subtitle is a permit to allow temporary possession of explosives for use
in firearms in a building or structure open for public use. This is not an
activity that normally involves an employer of individuals.

Also in the introductory language of subsection (d) of this section, the
reference to this "subtitle" is substituted for the former reference to this
"article" to limit the scope of this provision to the explosives provisions,
and not to all activities regulated by the State Fire Marshal under this
article. The Public Safety Article Review Committee notes this substitution
for the consideration of the General Assembly.

In subsection (e)(2) of this section, the reference to the "9-1-1" center is
substituted for the former reference to the "911" center for consistency with
terminology used in Title 1, Subtitle 3 of this article.

Also in subsection (e)(2) of this section, the former reference to notification
"of the license issued" is deleted as redundant.
