which, in the former law, was stated expressly
only as to a permit for operating a tissue bank.
Subsection (c) of this section, as revised,
clarifies that every applicant pays this fee. As
to the authority of the Secretary to set fees,
see § 17-304 of this subtitle.

In subsection (c) of this section, the former
reference to the "laboratories administration" is
deleted to avoid reference to a nonstatutory unit
of the Department.

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.

Secretary to issue a permit to a qualified
applicant for a permit to represent or service a
tissue bank.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
