REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 43, §152A, as amended by Ch. 817, Acts
of 1973. New language derived from Art.
43, §152(f), as amended by Ch. 817, Acts of
1973, is added to the first sentence for
organizational purposes. Paragraph (4) is
new language derived from Art. 43, §152(f),
as amended by Ch. 817, Acts of 1973.
Present §152 (f) provides that the
enumerated offenses are grounds for
suspension or revocation; their inclusion
in this section means they now are grounds
for refusal. In light of the nature of the
enumerated offenses, this revision does not
distort the original legislative intent.

In the first sentence, the reference to
certificate is proposed for deletion and
"license" is substituted because this
document is called a certificate elsewhere
in this subtitle. The provisions of this
section indicate that "license" is
intended. In paragraph (6) the phrase "to
practice" is proposed for deletion in light
of the definition set forth in §2-301 (d).

Paragraph (10) is new language derived from
the last clause of Art. 43, §152(f) of the
Code.

Art. 43, §152A(g) is proposed for deletion
because it is encompassed within the
provision of new paragraph (8).

The only other changes made are in style.
