HARRY HUGHES, Governor

43, § 34(b).

The only other changes are in style.

The second clause of the second sentence of
former Article 43, § 34(b), which related to
medical laboratories as of June 1, 1966, is
deleted as obsolete.

Defined terms: "Medical laboratory" § 17-201
"Physician" § 1-101 "Secretary" § 1-101

17-204. ESTABLISHMENT OF FEES.

THE SECRETARY:

(1)  SHALL SET REASONABLE FEES FOR THE ISSUANCE
AND RENEWAL OF PERMITS; AND

(2)  MAY SET A FEE FOR THE PROFICIENCY TEST
PROGRAM.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the thirteenth
sentence of former Article 43, § 34(a) and the
first sentence of (d).

In item (1) of this section, the former reference
to fees for "registration" is deleted to conform
with changes in terminology made throughout this
article. See the General Revisor's Note to this
article.

Item (2) of this section is revised to enable the
Secretary -- rather than the Department -- to set
fees for the proficiency test. This revision is
made for conformity, as the Secretary sets the
other fees under this subtitle.

Defined terms: "Permit" § 17-201
"Secretary" § 1-101

17-205. PERMIT REQUIRED; EXCEPTIONS.

(A) IN GENERAL.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SUBTITLE, A PERSON
SHALL HOLD A PERMIT ISSUED BY THE SECRETARY BEFORE THE
PERSON MAY:

(1)  OPERATE A MEDICAL LABORATORY IN THIS STATE;
OR

(2)  REPRESENT OR SERVICE IN THIS STATE ANY
MEDICAL LABORATORY THAT IS OUTSIDE THIS STATE.
