# 46 U.S.C. § 7305 - Oaths for holders of merchant mariners’ documents
|
||
|
||
## Text
|
||
|
||
An applicant for a merchant mariner’s document shall take, before issuance of the document, an oath that the applicant will perform faithfully and honestly all the duties required by law, and will carry out the lawful orders of superior officers.
|
||
|
||
(Pub. L. 98–89, Aug. 26, 1983, 97 Stat. 542.)
|
||
|
||
## Notes
|
||
|
||
Historical and Revision Notes Revised sectionSource section (U.S. Code) 7305.............................................. The requirement for an oath, drawn from a clause which had appeared in 46 U.S.C. 672(g), and administered by the Coast Guard to all applicants, was repealed in a 1980 amendment by section 4 of Public Law 96–378 (94 Stat. 1516). Since no specific comment was made regarding the elimination in 1980 and the agency has continued to administer an oath to all applicants, this provision is being reinstated. The Committee believes the oath will contribute to the discipline and order necessary in the merchant marine.
