Created in 1902, the State Board of Pharmacy
licenses pharmacists by examination and reciprocity
(Chapter 179, Acts of 1902). It also conducts a
biennial re-registration program for pharmacists.
The Board issues permits for the operation of retail
pharmacies and for the manufacture of drugs, med-
icines, toilet articles, dentifrices, and cosmetics. The
Board also licenses jobbers, distributors, and
wholesalers or manufacturers of dangerous (pre-
scription) drugs. In cooperation with the Depart-
ment of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Board
enforces the pharmacy and drug laws of the State.

Board members and duly authorized agents of
the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene
inspect all pharmacies or other places where pre-
scriptions, medicines, drugs, drug products, or do-
mestic remedies are compounded or sold. They also
inspect prescriptions, medicines, drugs, drug prod-
ucts, or domestic products offered for sale. Pharma-
cists are required to keep in their places of business,
for a period of not less than five years, a file of every
prescription compounded or dispensed.

The Board's eight members include six licensed
pharmacists and two consumers. All are appointed
by the Governor with the advice of the Secretary of
Health and Mental Hygiene for five-year terms.
Each pharmacist member is selected from a list
submitted by the Maryland Pharmaceutical Associ-
ation. Appointed with Senate advice and consent,
the consumer members cannot have had training as
a pharmacist or have a financial interest in a related
field. Two members must reside in Baltimore City,
two must reside in the counties, and three must be
from the State at large. The Board may designate
an executive director. Authorization for the Board
continues until July 1, 1993 (Code Health Occu-
pations Article, secs. 12-101 through 12-802).

The State Commission on Physical Fitness was
created in 1963 (Chapter 606, Acts of 1963). The
Commission works to protect and improve the
physical fitness of Marylanders. It disseminates in-
formation about physical fitness, and collects and
assembles information from State departments and
agencies. To further its work, the Commission
maintains liaison with the State Department of
Education, local boards of education, private and
parochial schools, and local physical fitness com-
missions.

The Commission consists of twenty-five mem-
bers appointed by the Governor with the advice of
the Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene. Mem-
bers serve four-year terms and are chosen for their
interest or experience in physical fitness for both
youth and adults. The Governor designates the
chairperson. The Secretary of Health and Mental
Hygiene appoints the executive director.

In each county and the City of Baltimore, the
Governor also appoints a local physical fitness com-
mission, composed of fifteen to twenty-five local
residents. The Secretary of Health and Mental Hy-
giene designates the chairperson of each local com-
mission (Code Health—General Article, secs.
13-401 through 13-412).
