(II) WAS ENGAGED ACTIVELY IN THE PRACTICE
OF SPEECH PATHOLOGY IN THIS STATE ON JULY 1, 1972.

(B) WAIVER OF EXAMINATIONS.

THE BOARD MAY WAIVE ANY EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT OF THIS
SUBTITLE FOR AN APPLICANT WHO:

(1)  PAYS THE APPLICATION FEE REQUIRED BY THE
BOARD UNDER § 19-303 OF THIS SUBTITLE; AND

(2)  PROVIDES ADEQUATE EVIDENCE THAT THE

(I)  MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS OTHERWISE

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §§
793(b) and 795(b).

Subsection (b)(1) and (2)(i) of this section is
standard language added to conform to the
language used throughout this article for
provisions that allow or require waiver of
examination requirements.

In subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the
terms "any other state" and "the other state" are
substituted for the phrase "another state or
jurisdiction" in light of the definition of
"state" in § 1-101 of this article.

Also in subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section,
the phrase "or any other" state is added to
provide expressly that a speech pathologist who
met the licensing requirements in one state, and
who then was waived into a second state, then may
be waived by the Board into Maryland — a third
state — on the basis of the license in the
second state, which was acquired by waiver on the
basis of the licensing requirements in the first
state. This provision, which is patterned after
comparable provisions in other titles of this
article and which conforms with Board practice,
allows the Board to give fair consideration under
this section to a speech pathologist who, in the
course of that professional career, has moved
