SUBJECT TO SUBSECTION (A) OF THIS SECTION, THE BOARD
SHALL DETERMINE THE SUBJECTS, SCOPE, FORM, AND PASSING SCORE
FOR EXAMINATIONS GIVEN UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
the second sentence of Art. 43, § 406A(c), as
that sentence relates to examination of
applicants.

Subsection (b) of this section is standard
language added to this and, where necessary,
corresponding sections of other titles of this
article, as discussed in the General Revisor's
Note to this article.

Subsection (c) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from Art. 43,
§ 406A(f)(3) and (4). In addition, standard
language is added to this and, where necessary,
corresponding sections of other titles of this
article to state expressly that the Board may
determine the times and places of the
examinations.

Subsection (d) 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 for 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 (e) of this section is derived from
Art. 43, § 406A(f)(3) and (4), as that subsection
applies to the power of the Board to "prepare"
examinations, and revised in the standard
language used in other titles of this article.
