17-214. REPRESENTING OR SERVICING MEDICAL LABORATORIES.

(A) IN GENERAL.

A PERSON MAY NOT REPRESENT OR SERVICE ANY MEDICAL
LABORATORY, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION, UNLESS THE MEDICAL
LABORATORY AND ITS DIRECTOR MEET THE STANDARDS AND
QUALIFICATIONS THAT THE SECRETARY ADOPTS UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE.

(B) REPRESENTING OR SERVICING WITHOUT PERMIT.

A PERSON MAY NOT REPRESENT OR SERVICE IN THIS STATE ANY
MEDICAL LABORATORY THAT IS NOT IN THIS STATE UNLESS THE
PERSON HOLDS A PERMIT TO REPRESENT OR SERVICE THE MEDICAL
LABORATORY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as the
eighth sentence of Article 43, § 34(a).

Subsection (b) of this section is revised to
state a fundamental prohibition implicit in the
provisions of former Article 43, § 34(a) that
related to representing or servicing an
out-of-state medical laboratory.

The former references to a "partnership,
association or corporation" are deleted as
unnecessary in light of the use of the defined
term "person".

The only other changes are in style.

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

17-215. ADVERTISING OR SOLICITING FOR MEDICAL LABORATORIES.

A PERSON MAY NOT DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ADVERTISE FOR
OR SOLICIT BUSINESS IN THIS STATE FOR ANY MEDICAL
LABORATORY, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION, FROM ANYONE EXCEPT A
PHYSICIAN, HOSPITAL, MEDICAL LABORATORY, CLINIC, CLINICAL
INSTALLATION, OR OTHER MEDICAL CARE FACILITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, § 34(c).

The former reference to a "partnership,
association or corporation" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the use of the defined
term "person".
