LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch.8

Subsections (b), (d), (e), (f), and (g) of this
section are new language derived without
substantive change from Art. 43, §§ 621(c)(5) and
630.

Subsection (c) of this section is standard
language added to conform with Board practice and
with present, similar provisions in Art. 43 that
govern examination for licensing by other health
occupation boards. It provides an element of
fundamental fairness by requiring the Board to
give qualified applicants notice before the
administration of examinations.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference
to the Board determining the times and places of
the examinations it administers is added to state
expressly a power of the Board that presently is
only implied in the law.

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

THE APPLICANT:

(1)  PAYS THE APPLICATION FEE REQUIRED BY THE
BOARD UNDER § 16-303 OF THIS SUBTITLE; AND

APPLICANT:

(I)  MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS OTHERWISE
REQUIRED BY THIS TITLE; AND

(II)  BECAME LICENSED OR CERTIFIED IN THE
OTHER STATE UNDER REQUIREMENTS SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, § 632.

In subsection (a) of this section, the present
reference to "territory or possession" is deleted
