THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO A FAMILY CARE HOME

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
former Article 43, § 709 and rephrased in
standard language to state affirmatively that a
person must be licensed to operate a group day
care center. See also § 14-113 of this subtitle.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from former
Article 43, § 708(4)(ii) and rephrased to state

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
references "establish", "conduct", and "maintain"
are deleted as unnecessary in light of the broad
reference to "operate".
