The Domiciliary Care Facilities Board was cre-
ated by the Governor at the request of the General
Assembly in 1984 (Joint Resolution no. 23, Acts of
1984). In 1986, the Board was established by law
(Chapter 726, Acts of 1986).
Because the Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene, the Department of Human Resources,
and the Office on Aging all license and regulate
domiciliary care facilities, the Board formulates and
implements policy and coordinates agency respon-
sibility. The Board also reviews and approves poli-
cies and regulations that govern domiciliary care
facilities and related programs. Such facilities pro-
vide domiciliary, personal or nursing care to unre-
lated individuals who are dependent on the facility
for assistance with daily living activities in a safe,
sanitary and healthful environment.
The Board has nine members. Four are ap-
pointed to four-year terms by the Governor and
include a domiciliary care facility provider, and three
consumers. One member, appointed by the Gover-
nor, represents the Maryland Disability Law Center.
Four serve ex officio. The Governor designates the
chairperson (Code 1957, Art. 41, sec. 10-601).

interest or development capability.

tressed areas of the State. It helps State and local
economic development agencies expand, modern-
ize, and retain businesses, and attract new ones.
The Board of Directors is appointed by the
Governor with Senate advice and consent. It con-
sists of twelve members, including two ex officio
voting members. Members serve four-year terms.
