LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

See Article 41, § 250A(c) of the Code.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference
to suspension or revocation of "the authority to
offer or perform any class of test that the
permit sets forth" is new language added to avoid
the cumbersome procedure of revocation of a
permit and immediate issuance of a new permit of
more limited scope if a medical test unit
generally meets the standards, but is deficient
in a specific area.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the
reference to action for failure to "meet the
requirements that the Secretary adopts under this
subtitle" is substituted for the reference to
"any rules or regulations regularly adopted by
the Secretary", which was overly broad in light
of the authority of the Secretary throughout this
and other articles and unnecessary in light of
the broad authority under this subtitle.

The former specific reference to compliance with
the "standards or qualifications" is deleted as
unnecessary since they are set by rule or
regulation under § 17-402 of this subtitle.

As to inspections generally, see § 17-402(b) of
this subtitle.

Defined terms: "Medical test unit" § 17-401
"Permit" § 17-401 "Secretary" § 1-101

17-412. OPERATING WITHOUT A PERMIT.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SUBTITLE, A PERSON
MAY NOT OPERATE A MEDICAL TEST UNIT IN THIS STATE UNLESS THE
PERSON HOLDS A PERMIT ISSUED BY THE SECRETARY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the fifth
sentence of former Article 43, § 54K(c)(l).

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

As to the referenced exceptions, see § 17-404(b)
of this subtitle.

Defined terms: "Medical test unit" § 17-401
"Permit" § 17-401 "Secretary" § 1-101
"Person" § 1-101
