1392 LAWS OF MARYLAND Ch. 237
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 (b) of this section is revised to
state expressly what presently is only implied in
the law: i.e., that the Board may determine the
time and place of the examination.
Subsection (d) of this section is revised in
standard language used in this and, where
necessary, corresponding sections of other titles
of this article to state expressly provisions
that presently are implied in the law: i.e., that
the Board has control over the content,
administration, and scoring of the required
examinations.
21-305. RECIPROCAL WAIVER OF EXAMINATION AND FEE.
(A) IN GENERAL.
SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, THE BOARD
MAY MAKE A RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT WITH ANY OTHER STATE TO
WAIVE ANY EXAMINATION OR FEE REQUIREMENT OF THIS TITLE FOR
AN APPLICANT WHO IS LICENSED TO PRACTICE WELL DRILLING IN
THAT STATE.
(B) CONDITIONS.
AN AGREEMENT MADE UNDER THIS SECTION MAY ALLOW THE
BOARD TO GRANT A WAIVER ONLY IF THE APPLICANT PROVIDES
ADEQUATE EVIDENCE THAT THE APPLICANT:
(1) MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS OR REQUIREMENTS
ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD UNDER THIS TITLE; AND
(2) BECAME LICENSED IN THE OTHER STATE AFTER
PASSING IN THAT OR ANY OTHER STATE AN EXAMINATION THAT IS
SIMILAR TO ANY REQUIRED EXAMINATION FOR WHICH THE APPLICANT
IS SEEKING THE WAIVER.
(C) RECIPROCITY.
AN AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE UNDER THIS SECTION ONLY IF,
UNDER THE AGREEMENT, THE OTHER STATE WAIVES THE EXAMINATION
OR FEE REQUIREMENT OF LICENSEES OF THIS STATE TO A SIMILAR
EXTENT AS THIS STATE WAIVES THE EXAMINATION OR FEE
REQUIREMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS LICENSED IN THAT STATE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from the first sentence of NR § 8-612. Its
revision is patterned after the standard language
used throughout this article for provisions that
allow or require waiver of examination
requirements.
