(1)  AN APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT TO OPERATE A

(I)  THE NAME OF THE OWNER;

(II)  THE CLASSES OF SERVICES THAT THE
TISSUE BANK WOULD PROVIDE; AND

(III)  ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT THE
SECRETARY REQUIRES.

(2)  AN APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT TO REPRESENT OR

DIRECTOR MEET THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE SECRETARY ADOPTS
UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

(C)  FEES.

THE APPLICANT SHALL PAY TO THE DEPARTMENT THE
APPLICATION FEE SET BY THE SECRETARY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the second,
third, and eighth sentences of former Article 43,
§ 34(a), as those sentences related to
applications and application fees for permits,
and from the first clause of the second sentence
of (d).

In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "on
the form that the Secretary requires" is standard
language added to state expressly a provision
that only was implied in the former law: i.e.,
that applications may be made only on the form
required by the Secretary.

As to subsection (b)(2) of this section and the
phrase "requirements that the Secretary adopts
under this subtitle", see revisor's note to §
17-306 of this subtitle. In light of this
revision, the former reference to application for
a permit to represent or service a tissue bank
"on such terms and conditions as are adopted by
the Secretary" is deleted as unnecessary.

One of those terms and conditions presumably
would be the payment of an application fee,
