See the following link for Amendment SB0281/873522/1, which was rejected:
http://mgaleg.maryland.gov/2013RS/amds/bil_0001/sb0281_87352201.pdf
Unless I'm misinterpreting the method to denote the location of the rejected amendment language, the insertion of the paragraph does not make sense in the third reading. However, it makes sense in the enrolled version of the bill in section 5–117.1., paragraph (A).
Section 5–117.1. pertains to the HQL. The rejected amendment would have exempted "A DEALER OR ANY OTHER PERSON WHO TRANSFERS OR RECEIVES A HANDGUN FOR WHICH A VERIFIABLE PURCHASE ORDER WAS PLACED BEFORE OCTOBER 1, 2013" from the HQL.
It seems to be implicit that with the rejected amendment, the HQL will be needed for transfers or receipt (acquisition) of handguns after 10/1. Thoughts?
