HARRY HUGHES, Governor

(B) CONTENTS.

THE SECRETARY SHALL INCLUDE ON EACH LICENSE THAT THE
SECRETARY ISSUES:

(1)  THE NAME OF THE HOSPITAL OR RELATED
INSTITUTION; AND

(2)  THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE HOSPITAL OR
RELATED INSTITUTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
the first sentence of former Article 43, §
560(a). It is rephrased to state that the
Secretary is required, not merely authorized, to
issue a license to a qualified applicant. It
also reflects that there are statutory
requirements that the applicant must meet. See
also § 19-319 of this subtitle.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
added for clarity. It is based on § 19-307 of
this subtitle, which establishes classes of
hospitals and related institutions, and §
19-320(b)(3)(iii), which requires the application
to set forth the classification of the proposed
hospital or related institution.

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference "regardless of type of ownership" is
deleted as unnecessary.

As to inspections of hospitals or related
institutions before issuance of a license, see §

19-308 of this subtitle.
