REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §§
862(b)(3) and 868(a).

Subsection (a) of this section is standard
language added to this and, where necessary,
corresponding sections of other titles of this
article, as discussed in the General Revisor's
Note to this article.

Subsection (c) of this section is standard
language added to conform 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

In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the
reference to the Board having control over the
passing score of the examination is standard
language added to this and, where necessary,
corresponding sections of other titles of this
article to state expressly a provision that
presently is only implied in the law.

Subsection (e)(1) of this section, which is
derived in part from the reference in present
Art. 43, § 868(a) that allows an applicant to be
reexamined after failing an examination, is
