LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
59A, § 20(a) and the second sentence of (b) and
rephrased in the standard language used to state
affirmatively that a person must be licensed to
operate a private facility. See also § 7-901 of
this title.

The term "operate" is substituted for the
reference "admit, receive or retain any mentally
retarded person for the purpose of care or
treatment of such mental retardation", for
brevity and conformity to § 7-402 of this
subtitle, which refers to rules and regulations
for "operating" a private facility.

The former reference to "written approval" is
deleted, since, except for the license, the
Administration does not issue written approval.

Defined terms: "Administration" § 7-101
"License" § 7-401 "Private facility" § 7-101
"Person" § 1-101

7-404. QUALIFICATIONS OF APPLICANTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived

for the second clause of that sentence, which
related to private group homes. It is rephrased
to state affirmatively that the applicant must
meet these requirements. See also § 7-407 of
this subtitle.
