DEGREE OR AN ABBREVIATION FOR THE DEGREE IN CONNECTION WITH

part from the fifth clause of the first sentence
and the entire second sentence of Art. 32, § 17
and revised in the standard language used
throughout this article to express a prohibition
against false representations of authority to
practice a health occupation.

Subsection (a)(2) of this section is new language
added to express an inherent, if not essential,
corollary to § 4-601 of this subtitle.

Subsection (b) of this section states directly
what the law presently states only indirectly —
i.e., that the holder of a dental degree may use
any title conferred with the degree, even though
not licensed to practice dentistry, if the
unlicensed degree holder does not attempt
actually to practice dentistry in this State.
