ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor

Ch. 5

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the phrase "as a member of the Board"
is added to clarify that the prohibition on receipt of compensation is only
applicable to a member of the Board in the capacity of that individual as a
member.

Defined term: "Board" § 12-801

12-823. MISCELLANEOUS POWERS.

IN ADDITION TO ANY POWERS SET FORTH ELSEWHERE, THE BOARD MAY:

(1)      CONSULT WITH ENGINEERING AUTHORITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
CONCERNED WITH STANDARD SAFETY CODES ABOUT:

(I)      REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE OPERATION, MAINTENANCE,
SERVICING, CONSTRUCTION, ALTERATION, INSTALLATION, AND INSPECTION OF
ELEVATOR UNITS; AND

(II)     QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE ADEQUATE, REASONABLE, AND
NECESSARY FOR ELEVATOR MECHANICS AND ELEVATOR CONTRACTORS;

(2)      RECOMMEND APPLICABLE LEGISLATION;

(3)      ADOPT BYLAWS FOR THE CONDUCT OF ITS PROCEEDINGS; AND

(4)      ADOPT REGULATIONS TO CARRY OUT PART III OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 89, § 490(g)(1), (2), and (4).

In the introductory language of this section, the phrase "[i]n addition to
any powers set forth elsewhere" is standard language added to avoid any
implication that the only powers the Board has are those specified in this
section.

In item (1)(i) of this subsection, the former reference to "rules" is deleted as
included in the reference to "regulations". See General Revisor's Note to
article.

In item (2) of this section, the former ambiguous reference to the authority
of the Board to recommend applicable legislation "when appropriate" is
deleted as unnecessary as the appropriateness or timing of the Board's
action under this item is implicit in its basic authority to recommend
applicable legislation.

Defined terms: "Board" § 12-801
"Elevator contractor" § 12-801
"Elevator mechanic" § 12-801
"Elevator unit" § 12-801

12-824. ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES.
