first sentence of Art. 43, § 611, refers only to
the establishment of fees for applicants, it
should not be read to preclude the Board from
imposing fees in other appropriate instances.
See, e.g., present Art. 43, § 611A(b)(l)(ii),
which refers to a "renewal fee".

As to subsection (b) of this section, the second
sentence of present Art. 43, § 606(e), which
requires that disbursement of funds be in
accordance with Art. III, §§32 and 52 of the
State Constitution or Art. 15A, §§1 through 15
of the Code, which relate to disbursements from
the General Fund of this State, is deleted as
implicit in the requirement that the funds are
part of the General Fund of this State.

SUBTITLE 3. LICENSING.

13-301. LICENSE REQUIRED; EXCEPTIONS.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE, AN
INDIVIDUAL SHALL BE LICENSED BY THE BOARD BEFORE THE
INDIVIDUAL MAY PRACTICE PHYSICAL THERAPY OR LIMITED PHYSICAL
THERAPY IN THIS STATE.

(B)  EXCEPTIONS.

THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO:

(1)  A STUDENT WHO IS SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY A
LICENSED PHYSICAL THERAPIST IN A BOARD APPROVED PHYSICAL
THERAPY EDUCATIONAL OR CLINICAL PROGRAM; AND

(2)  AN AIDE WHO IS SUPERVISED DIRECTLY BY A
LICENSED PHYSICAL THERAPIST.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §
610(c)(1) and the second and third clauses of the
first sentence of § 614. It is rephrased in the
standard language used throughout this article to
state affirmatively that an individual must be
licensed to practice a health occupation in this
State. See also § 13-401 of this title.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the
reference to a "clinical" program is added for
clarity, as an educational program may have a
practical clinic as part of its requirements.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the
enumeration of occupational titles is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the broad term "aide".
