REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §§ 292
and 293(a), (b), (c), and (d).

In subsection (a)(3) of this section, the phrase
"at least" is substituted for the phrase "minimal
education preparation" for clarity.

In subsection (b)(1), (2), and (5) of this
section, as to the substitution of the phrase
"with the advice of the Secretary" for "upon the
recommendation of the Secretary", see the General
Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsection (b)(1) and (2) of this section, the
present references to submitting a list of names
of qualified individuals a "reasonable time
before a ... vacancy" and "as promptly as
possible after a ... vacancy" are deleted as
unnecessary,

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the
reference to Maryland Licensed Practical Nurses
Association, "Inc." is added to correct an
inaccurate title.

In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the phrase
"or its equivalent" is added to clarify that the
registered nurse members may have graduated from
a school outside of this State.

In subsection (h) of this section, the reference
to Article I, § 9 of the State Constitution is
substituted for Art. I, § 6 of the State
Constitution to correct an inaccurate reference.

In subsection (j) of this section, the word
"misconduct" is added to conform to the
requirements of Art. II, § 15 of the State
Constitution.

In subsection (j) of this section, the phrase
"with the advice of the Secretary of Health and
Mental Hygiene" is deleted as misleading.
Although the present law seems to imply that the
Governor may remove a Board member only with the
advice of the Secretary, Art. II, § 15 of the
