HARRY HUGHES, Governor

629

Subsection (a)(2)(i) of this section allows the
Board flexibility in setting continuing education
requirements for an individual who is on inactive
status and, as revised, appears to reflect the
intent behind the present law.

15-310. CHANGE OF ADDRESS.

EACH LICENSEE SHALL NOTIFY THE BOARD OF ANY CHANGE OF
ADDRESS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as Art.
43, § 493(b)(4).

The word "licensee" is substituted for the
present word "podiatrist", for clarity.

No other changes are made.
