LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch.8

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
the first sentence of Art. 43, § 474(b) and is
revised in the standard language used for
corresponding sections of other titles of this
article. See the General Revisor's Note to this
article.

Subsections (b), (d), (e), (f), (g), and (h) of
this section are new language derived without
substantive change from the first sentence, the
second clause of the second sentence, and the
entire third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh
sentences of Art. 43, § 471 and the second
through fifth sentences of § 474(b).

Subsection (c) of this section, which is derived
in part from the first sentence of Art. 43, §
471, as that sentence relates to notice, is
revised in standard language used to conform with
present, similar provisions in Art. 43, that
govern examination for licensing by other health
occupations boards. It provides an element of
fundamental fairness by requiring the Board to
give qualified applicants notice before the
administration of examinations.

Subsection (d)(2) of this section is new language
added to this and corresponding sections of other
titles of this article to state expressly a power
of the Board that presently is only implied in
the law: i.e., that the Board has control over
the subjects, scope, and form of examinations.

Subsection (i) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from Art. 43,
§ 467(a)(5).

In subsection (d)(4) of this section, the
reference to supplementary examinations is
substituted for the enumeration of types of
supplementary examinations in present Art. 43, §
471.

In subsection (i) of this section, the word
"authorized" is substituted for "approved", for
clarity.

The first clause of the second sentence of
present Art. 43, § 471, which relates to a quorum
of the Board, now appears in § 11-204 of this

title.

The last clause of the second sentence of present
Art. 43, § 471, which relates to the issuance of
a license after an affirmative vote of three
Board members, now appears in § 11-306 of this
subtitle.
