these tissue banks.

The former references to a "partnership,

association or corporation"     are deleted as

unnecessary in light of the use of the defined
term "person".

Defined terms: "Permit" § 17-301
"Person" § 1-101 "Tissue bank" § 17-301
"Secretary" § 1-101

17-306. QUALIFICATIONS FOR PERMITS.

TO QUALIFY FOR A PERMIT, AN APPLICANT SHALL SATISFY THE
SECRETARY THAT THE TISSUE BANK 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 tissue banks,
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 tissue bank also is a
condition for issuance of the permit. See §
17-303 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 set by rule or
regulation under §§ 17-302(a) and 17-303 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 medical laboratories now appears in
Subtitle 2 of this title.
