LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch.8

revised, subsection (b) of this section reflects
the net effect of both of the present provisions
and conforms to Board practice.

In subsection (c) of this section, the
requirement in present Art. 43, § 258(b) that
"ten days' public notice" of an examination be
given is deleted as an archaic and impractical
way of giving applicants notice of examination.
Therefore, the subsection is revised in the
standard language used throughout this article to
require notice of examination. This standard
language conforms with Board practice.

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

Present Art. 43, § 262, which provides for a
"special examination" to be given on or before
May 31, 1940 to any individual who, as of June 1,
1939, was a qualified "assistant pharmacist" and
for licensing any individual who passed that
examination, is deleted as obsolete.

SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, THE BOARD
MAY MAKE A RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT WITH ANY OTHER STATE TO

(B)  CONDITIONS.

AN AGREEMENT MADE UNDER THIS SECTION MAY ALLOW THE
BOARD TO GRANT A WAIVER ONLY IF THE INDIVIDUAL:

(1)  IS OF GOOD MORAL CHARACTER;

(3)  PROVIDES ADEQUATE EVIDENCE THAT:

(I)  AT THE TIME THE APPLICANT  WAS LICENSED

IN THE OTHER STATE BY PASSING AN EXAMINATION ADMINISTERED IN
