(B) GROUP PRACTICE NOT PROHIBITED.

THIS SECTION DOES NOT PROHIBIT A PODIATRIST FROM
PRACTICING IN A PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION OR IN ANY OTHER
GROUP PRACTICE OTHERWISE ALLOWED BY LAW.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the second clause
of the first sentence and the entire second
sentence of Art. 43, § 481(c)(2).

SUBTITLE 5. PROHIBITED ACTS; PENALTIES.

15-501. PRACTICING WITHOUT LICENSE.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE, A PERSON
MAY NOT PRACTICE, ATTEMPT TO PRACTICE, OR OFFER TO PRACTICE
PODIATRY IN THIS STATE UNLESS LICENSED BY THE BOARD.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §
481(a) — as that section relates to practicing
without a license — and from the reference in
Art. 43, § 489(a) to an "attempt" to practice.

The reference to an "offer to practice" podiatry
is standard language 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.

As to the referenced exceptions, see § 15-102 of
this title.

15-502. MISREPRESENTATION AS PODIATRIST.

UNLESS AUTHORIZED TO PRACTICE PODIATRY UNDER THIS
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
PODIATRY IN THIS STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from Art. 43, § 481(a), as that section relates
to misrepresentation, and is revised in the
standard language used throughout this article to
express a prohibition against false
representations of authority to practice a health
occupation.
