HARRY HUGHES, Governor

799

The second clause of the second sentence of
former Article 43, § 34(d), which provided for
disposition of the fees "in the general funds of
the State", is deleted as unnecessary in light of
§ 2-104(j) of this article, to the same effect.

Defined terms: "Department" § 1-101

"Includes"/"including" § 1-101

"Medical laboratory" § 17-201

"Permit" § 17-201 "Secretary" § 1-101

17-208. ISSUANCE AND CONTENTS OF PERMIT.

(A)  ISSUANCE.

THE SECRETARY SHALL ISSUE A PERMIT TO ANY APPLICANT WHO
MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SUBTITLE.

(B)  CONTENTS.

THE SECRETARY SHALL INCLUDE ON EACH PERMIT THAT THE
SECRETARY ISSUES:

(1)  THE NAME OF THE MEDICAL LABORATORY;

(2)  THE NAME OF ITS DIRECTOR;

(3)  THE NAME OF ITS OWNER; AND

(4)  THE CLASSES OF SERVICES THAT THE MEDICAL
LABORATORY MAY OFFER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from

all but the first clause of the third sentence of
former Article 43, § 34(a), as that sentence
related to a permit to operate, and rephrased to
express the formerly implied duty of the
Secretary to issue a permit to a qualified
applicant for a permit to represent or service a
medical laboratory.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
added to conform to Department practice, which
requires the issuance of a new permit if a change
occurs as to any matter stated in the permit.
See also § 17-209 of this subtitle.

As to inspections of medical laboratories within
this State before issuance of a permit, see §
17-202(b) of this subtitle.
