LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch.8

BEFORE AN INSTITUTION MAY OPERATE AN ELECTROLOGY
EDUCATION PROGRAM IN THIS STATE, THE BOARD SHALL APPROVE THE
PROGRAM.

(B)  STANDARDS.

THE BOARD SHALL APPROVE AN ELECTROLOGY EDUCATION
PROGRAM IN THIS STATE IF:

(1)  THE STATE BOARD FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
APPROVES THE PROGRAM; AND

(2)  THE INSTITUTION THAT OFFERS THE PROGRAM
SUBMITS EVIDENCE TO THE BOARD THAT THE INSTITUTION IS
PREPARED TO:

(I)  MEET THE STANDARDS SET BY THE BOARD
UNDER THIS SUBTITLE; AND

(II)  CARRY OUT AN EDUCATION PROGRAM IN:

1.  THE THEORY OF ELECTROLOGY THAT
CONSISTS OF AT LEAST 20 HOURS OF ACADEMIC LECTURING TO BE
TAUGHT BY A PHYSICIAN; OR

2.  THE CLINICAL PRACTICE OF
ELECTROLOGY THAT CONSISTS OF AT LEAST 80 HOURS OF TRAINING
TO BE TAUGHT BY A LICENSED ELECTROLOGY INSTRUCTOR.

(C)  REVIEW.

(1)  THE BOARD PERIODICALLY MAY EVALUATE
ELECTROLOGY PROGRAMS IN THIS STATE AND PREPARE A WRITTEN
REPORT.

(2)  IF AN INSTITUTION THAT OFFERS AN APPROVED
ELECTROLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM VIOLATES ANY OF THE STANDARDS
SET BY THE BOARD UNDER THIS SUBTITLE, THE BOARD SHALL GIVE
THE INSTITUTION SPECIFIC, WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE VIOLATION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §
555B-29.

In this section and throughout this title, the
phrase "approved electrology education program"
is substituted for "approved institution" to
conform with the language used in §§ 5-302 and
5-401 of this title.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the word
"proposed" is deleted because even existing
electrology education programs must continue to
be approved by the State Board for Higher
Education to be eligible for Board approval.
