REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, § 90, §
291(b)(1)(ii) and (c)(vii), and the introductory
clause of § 294(a), and from Art. 43, §
294(a)(1), (2), (8), (12), (13), (14), (17), and
(18) and the last clause of the fourth sentence
and the second clause of the fifth sentence of §
294(d).

Regarding item (1) of this section, present Art.
43, § 90(a), which states that the Board may
adopt rules and regulations for licensing
midwives and for the practice of midwifery, is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the broad
general power of the Board to adopt rules and
regulations to carry out the provisions of this
title.

Items (3) and (4) of this section, which are
derived from Art. 43, §§ 291(b)(1)(ii) and
294(a)(2), respectively, may be partially
duplicative. In light of the controversial
matters involved, only minor changes were made in
the revision of the present law. The problem is
called to the attention of the General Assembly.

In item (3) of this section, "registered nurse"
is substituted for the phrase "nurses licensed
under this subtitle" in light of the derivation
of item (3) from the present definition of
"practice of registered nursing" in present Art.
43, § 291(b).
