Ch. 3

person is authorized to practice engineering, §§ 1(c)
and 2(e)(3) and rephrased in the standard language
used throughout this article to express a prohibition
against false representation of authority to practice
a regulated occupation.

Although the provisions of former Art. 75 1/2, §
2(e)(3) that related to representation and the use of
certain terms were part of the definition of "practice
of engineering" and not substantive prohibitions, the
provisions nevertheless were that. This effect
becomes clear when reading the former definition in
conjunction with former Art. 75 1/2, § 18(a)(1) -- now
§ 14-501 of this subtitle -- which prohibited
practicing engineering without a license.

Defined terms: "Engineer" § 14-101

"Person" § 1-101 "Practice engineering" § 14-101

"Professional engineer" § 14-101

14-503. USING LICENSE OF ANOTHER; IMPERSONATING PROFESSIONAL
ENGINEER.

A PERSON MAY NOT:

(1)  USE OR ATTEMPT TO USE THE LICENSE OF ANOTHER
INDIVIDUAL; OR

(2)  IMPERSONATE ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL WHO HOLDS A
LICENSE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 75 1/2, §
18(a)(5) and, as it related to the use of the license
of another, (3).

Defined terms: "License" § 14-101
"Person" § 1-101

14-504. ENDORSEMENT OF DOCUMENTS.

(A)  UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.

OTHER THAN A PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER WHO OBTAINS A SEAL AS
AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS TITLE, A PERSON MAY NOT USE OR ATTEMPT TO
USE A SEAL.

(B)  REVOKED, SUSPENDED, OR EXPIRED LICENSE.

WHILE THE LICENSE OF AN INDIVIDUAL IS SUSPENDED, REVOKED, OR
EXPIRED, A PERSON MAY NOT ENDORSE A DOCUMENT, AS PROVIDED UNDER §
14-402 OF THIS TITLE, WITH THE NAME OR SEAL OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
