1688                                        LAWS OF MARYLAND                     [Ch. 311

THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 23,
§440(a) and (b).

Art. 23, § 440(b)(1)(iii), which requires the
use             of           "chartered,"           "professional

association," or "P.A." in the corporate name,
has been omitted since §5—109 contains the
same requirements.

Also deleted are the examples "the Maryland
State Bar Association, the Medical and
Chirurgical Faculty and the Maryland State
Dental Association," which, of course, are not
licensing units, but professional

organizations of the type referred to in
§5-111(c) of this subtitle.

The only other changes are in style.
