SUBTITLE 5. PROHIBITED ACTS; PENALTIES.

6-501. PRACTICING WITHOUT LICENSE.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE, A PERSON
MAY NOT PRACTICE, ATTEMPT TO PRACTICE, OFFER TO PRACTICE, OR
ASSIST IN THE PRACTICE OF MORTUARY SCIENCE IN THIS STATE
UNLESS LICENSED BY THE BOARD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the second clause
of the first sentence of Art. 43, § 359(a), as
that sentence relates to practicing mortuary
science without a license.

References to "attempt" and "offer" to practice
mortuary science are added to conform to similar
provisions governing other health occupations in
present Art. 43. See, e.g., as to "attempt",
Art. 43, § 489(a), as to podiatrists, and, as to
"offer", Art. 43, § 768, as to nursing home
administrators.

As to those persons who may practice in this
State without a license, see § 6-301 of this
title.

The provisions of present Art. 43, § 359(a) that
relate to misrepresentation as a person
authorized to practice mortuary science now
appear in § 6-502 of this subtitle.

The penalty provisions of present Art. 43, §
359(a) now appear in § 6-508 of this subtitle.

UNLESS AUTHORIZED TO PRACTICE MORTUARY SCIENCE UNDER
THIS TITLE, A PERSON MAY NOT REPRESENT TO THE PUBLIC BY
TITLE, BY DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES, METHODS, OR PROCEDURES,
OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO PRACTICE
MORTUARY SCIENCE IN THIS STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first clause
of the first sentence of Art. 43, § 359(a), as
that clause relates to misrepresentation as a
person authorized to practice mortuary science.

This section is revised in the standard language
used throughout this article to express a
prohibition against false representation of
authority to practice a health occupation.

The provisions of present Art. 43, § 359(a) that
prohibit the practice of mortuary science without
