The State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home
Administrators was established in 1970 to exam-
ine, license, and register nursing home administra-
tors (Chapter 262, Acts of 1970). The Board
establishes reasonable fees for the issuance of
licenses and biennial registrations and enforces
standards. It also develops appropriate techniques
and procedures for the issuance of licenses and, if
necessary, may establish procedures for the revoca-
tion or suspension of any license. In addition, the
Board conducts a continuing study of nursing
homes and administrators of nursing homes. The
Board arranges for examinations and determines
the subjects to be included in examinations for
licensure as well as the training program necessary
for prospective administrators.

The Board consists of nine members appointed
by the Governor upon recommendation of the
Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene for three-
year terms. Membership includes four individuals
who are actively engaged in the management and
operation of a nursing home, four persons other
than nursing home administrators who are actively
engaged in professions concerned with the care of
the aged and the chronically ill, and two consumer
members appointed with the advice and consent of
the Senate who cannot have been trained as
nursing home administrators or have financial
interests in a related field. The Governor desig-
nates the chairperson and vice-chairperson, while
the Board appoints the executive secretary.

Authorization for the Board continues until July
1, 1993 (Code Health Occupations Article, secs.
8-201 through 8-502).
