The Board of Examiners of Maryland Pilots
was created in 1969 to license pilots (Chapter 575,
Acts of 1969). The Board establishes rules and
regulations as necessary to ensure the safety of the

setting pilotage fees and charges was transferred
from the Board to the Public Service Commission
(Chapter 727, Acts of 1984).

The Board consists of nine members appointed
for two-year terms by the Governor. The Secre-
tary of Licensing and Regulation, or his designee,
serves on the Board and the eight remaining
members are appointed with his advice. Pour
members must be licensed or retired pilots with at
least five years experience. Two must be members
of the steamship industry who actively employ pi-
lots, and two are consumer representatives.

Authorization for the Board continues until Ju-

The first board for the examining and licensing
of plumbers in Maryland was established in 1886

fies journeymen and master plumbers. It serves as
the regulatory agency for the plumbing trade and
business.

The Board is composed of nine members ap-
pointed by the Governor with the advice of the
Secretary of Licensing and Regulation and the ad-

clude seven practical and skilled plumbers, from
various regions of the State, and two public mem-
