(2) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE,

CHIROPRACTIC WITH THE RIGHT TO PRACTICE PHYSICAL THERAPY
ONLY IF THE APPLICANT ANSWERS CORRECTLY AT LEAST:

(I)  60 PERCENT OF THE QUESTIONS IN EACH
SUBSECTION OF THE EXAMINATION; AND

(II)  75 PERCENT OF ALL OF THE QUESTIONS ON
THE EXAMINATION.

(F) PARTICIPATION BY CONSUMER MEMBER OF THE BOARD.

UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD, THE CONSUMER MEMBER OF
THE BOARD MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY ACTIVITY RELATED TO
EXAMINATIONS UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §
499(b)(5), the first sentence of § 501(b), and
the first clause of the second sentence of §
503(a) and from Art. 43, § 504(a) and (b).

Subsection (a) of this section provides that an
applicant who otherwise qualifies is entitled to
an opportunity to meet the final requirement for
licensing — i.e., the opportunity to take the
required examination. The discretion implied by
the use of the present term "may admit" refers to
the Board's power to evaluate applications to
determine if an applicant meets the required
qualifications. The revised language does not
change the present law, but rather clarifies that
an applicant who otherwise qualifies is entitled
to be examined. As to the standard language used
in this subsection, see the General Revisor's
Note to this article.

Subsection (c) of this section is standard
language added to conform with Board practice and
with present, similar provisions in Art. 43 that
govern examination for licensing by other health
occupation boards. It provides an element of
fundamental fairness by requiring the Board to
give qualified applicants notice before the
administration of examinations.

Subsection (d)(1) of this section is revised in
the standard language used to state expressly
provisions that presently are only implied in the
law: i.e., that except as otherwise specified in
the law, the Board has control over the subjects
and method of the examinations.
