HARRY HUGHES, Governor

439

In subsection (b) of this section, "Board" is
substituted for "proper authorities" to clarify
that it is the Board that decides whether the
intoxication or addiction is cured or overcome.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, a
reference is added to allow for the reinstatement
of a license revoked for habitual intoxication or
addiction. This addition corresponds with the
present reference to reinstatement for a
suspended license and also states expressly the
apparent intent of the General Assembly to allow
the Board to reinstate a license in appropriate
circumstances where intoxication or addiction is
overcome or cured. The attention of the General
Assembly is called to this addition.

SUBTITLE 4. PROHIBITED ACTS; PENALTIES.

11-401. PRACTICING WITHOUT LICENSE.

A PERSON MAY NOT PRACTICE, ATTEMPT TO PRACTICE, OR
OFFER TO PRACTICE OSTEOPATHY IN THIS STATE UNLESS LICENSED
BY THE BOARD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first clause
of and the references to "attempt to practice
osteopathy" in Art. 43, § 479. It is restated in
the standard language used throughout this
article to prohibit the unauthorized practice of
a health occupation.

The reference to "offer" to practice is added to
conform to similar provisions governing other
health occupations in present Art. 43. See,
e.g., Art. 43, § 768, as to nursing home
administrators.

The present reference to registration with a
circuit court clerk is deleted as obsolete. See
the General Revisor's Note to this title.

The penalty provisions in present Art. 43, § 479
now appear in § 11-407 of this subtitle.

11-402. MISREPRESENTATION.

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
OSTEOPATHY IN THIS STATE.

(B) CERTAIN REPRESENTATIONS PROHIBITED; EXCEPTION.
