REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §
438(a). It is rephrased in the standard language now
used throughout the revised articles of the Code for
provisions that allow or require waiver of
qualifications.

The introductory language of subsection (a) of this
section, "[s]ubject to the provisions of this section
and of § 4-307 of this subtitle", is added as a
general reference to the conditions for waiver of
qualifications and to the specific conditions for
waiver of examination.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to
an "application fee" is substituted for the former
reference to the "appropriate fee", for clarity.

In subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, the reference
to "meet[ing] the qualifications otherwise required"
is added to provide that the equivalency of
requirements is to be determined at the time of
