may not be construed to permit a facility to offer a new patient
care service for which a certificate of need is otherwise

corrects the omission of an internal reference in §
19-115(j)(6) of the same article.

The omitted material was contained in Ch. 730 of the

Acts of 1986, but was not codified in the 1986

The omission was noted by outside counsel.

in § 19-3A-05 of the Health - General Article.

The error occurred in Ch. 178 of the Acts of the
Regular Session of 1985.

The error was noted by the counsel to the Office of
Licensing and Certification Programs of the Department
of Health and Mental Hygiene.
