LAWS OF MARYLAND

(3)  THE APPLICANT PRACTICED BARBERING IN THE OTHER
STATE AS A MASTER BARBER DURING THE 2 YEARS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE
APPLYING IN THIS STATE;

(4)  THE APPLICANT PROVIDES:

(I)  A NOTARIZED STATEMENT FROM A PREVIOUS
EMPLOYER CERTIFYING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS THE EXPERIENCE
REQUIRED UNDER ITEM (3) OF THIS SUBSECTION; OR

(II)  IF THE APPLICANT WAS SELF-EMPLOYED, OTHER
PROOF THAT IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE BOARD;

(5)  THE APPLICANT SUBMITS A LETTER FROM THE LICENSING
BOARD OF THE OTHER STATE CERTIFYING THAT THE APPLICANT IS IN GOOD
STANDING WITH THE BOARD OF THE OTHER STATE;

(6)  THE APPLICANT CERTIFIES IN WRITING THAT THE
APPLICANT HAS READ, UNDERSTANDS, AND WILL COMPLY WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS TITLE AND THE REGULATIONS OF THE BOARD; AND

(7)  THE OTHER STATE PROVIDES FOR THE RECIPROCAL
WAIVER OF REQUIREMENTS AS PROVIDED IN § 4-306 OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b)(2), (3), (4)(i),
(5), and (6) of this section are new language derived
without substantive change from the second sentence of
former Art. 56, § 438(b). They are rephrased in the
standard language now used throughout the revised
articles of the Code for provisions that allow or
require waiver of examination requirements.

Subsection (b)(1) of this section is new language
added for clarity.

Subsection (b)(4)(ii) of this section is new language
added to provide for an applicant who has been
self-employed. This addition addresses what seemed to
have been a legislative oversight and conforms to the
practice of the Board.

Subsection (b)(7) of this section is new language
added to clarify that the waiver of the examination
requirement for master barbers is dependent on the
reciprocal waiver of general requirements under §
4-306 of this subtitle. This addition conforms to the
practice of the Board.

In subsection (b)(2)(ii) of this section, the phrase
"in ... any other state" is added to provide expressly
that the Board may waive the examination requirements
for a master barber on the basis of a license that, in
turn, was acquired by waiver on the basis of licensure
