TO QUALIFY FOR A PERMIT, AN APPLICANT SHALL SATISFY THE
SECRETARY THAT THE MEDICAL LABORATORY TO BE OPERATED,
REPRESENTED, OR SERVICED AND ITS DIRECTOR MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS THAT THE SECRETARY ADOPTS UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE; This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the second clause
of the third sentence and the fourth clause of
the eighth sentence of former Article 43, §
34(a), as those clauses related to medical
laboratories, and from the seventh sentence of
former Article 43, § 34(a), as that sentence
allowed denial of a permit for failure "to comply
with the provisions of any rules or
regulations regularly adopted by the Secretary".

This section and other sections in this subtitle
are revised to clarify that the qualification of
the director of the medical laboratory also is a
condition for issuance of the permit. See §
17-203 of this subtitle.

Also in this section, the phrase "requirements
that the Secretary adopts under this subtitle" is
used to indicate that compliance is required not
only as to the standards and qualifications set
by rule or regulation under §§ 17-202(a) and
17-203 of this subtitle, but other rules and
regulations of the Secretary. In revising this
section, however, the broad reference to rules
and regulations is limited to rules and
regulations adopted under this subtitle.

The part of former Article 43, § 34(a) that
related to tissue banks now appears in Subtitle 3
of this title.

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