Public urged for licensing board reforms in Maryland
Maryland officials call for public members on all licensing boards and mandatory open meetings. The 50 page report by Secretary John R. Jewell urges public involvement to curb industry bias, expand oversight, and improve transparency. Recommendations include modernizing the State Board of Motion Picture Censors to classify films and license theaters, with powers to revoke licenses for underage viewing and regulate advertising to minors. Proposals also chart consolidations among architectural, engineering, banking, and barber and cosmetology boards into a Department of Licensing and Regulation division.
