standard language used in corresponding sections
of other titles of this article to state
expressly that applications may be made only on
the form required by the Board.

As to subsection (a)(2) of this section, the
provisions in present Art. 32, § 8 that the
application fee for a general license to practice
dentistry is nonrefundable, and that the entire
fee is payable even if parts of the examination
are waived, are deleted as unnecessary.

As to subsection (b) of this section, the present
law is unclear — and possibly self-contradictory
as to who actually applies for a limited
license to practice dentistry: the individual or
the institution. Present Art,. 32, § 5(c) refers
to the license being issued " {u}pon application
of the" institution, but refers to the individual
as the "applicant". In practice, the individual
makes the application, but is required to include
a written request from the institution that the
license be issued. The revised language conforms
the law to this practice and eliminates the
ambiguity.

Also as to subsection (b) of this section, the
reference in present Art. 32, § 5(c) to an
applicant for a limited license to practice
dentistry providing proof of qualifications is
deleted as potentially misleading and, in any
event, unnecessary. Each applicant for a license
governed by a title of this article can be
required to submit to the appropriate board proof
of meeting the qualifications.

As to the third sentence of present Art. 32, §
5(c), see also § 4-308 of this subtitle.

As to the authority of the Board to set fees, see
§ 4-207 of this title.
