REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first sentence of

In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "for use
as required under § 14-403 of this subtitle" is added
for clarity.

The second sentence of former Art. 75 1/2, § 15(c),
which provided the seal "is for the personal use of
the professional engineer only", is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the criminal penalties for use
of the seal of another. See § 14-504 of this title.
