WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language substituted for the first and second clauses
of former Art. 56, § 436(c)(1), which required a
license of an assistant barber teacher "be stamped
with the words 'substitute teacher'" on completion of
"12 months". The substituted language reflects that,
in accordance with the directives of the Legislative
Auditor, the Board has issued a substitute teacher
license rather than stamping the assistant barber
teacher license, but only for licensees who apply on a
form that the Board provides. The substituted
language also refers to "at least 1 year" rather than
the former "12 months", to clarify that the months are
to be consecutive and a minimum number.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
substituted for the third clause of former Art. 56, §
436(c)(1), which referred only to "substituting
privileges".

Subsection (c) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §
436(c)(2).

Subsection (d) of this section is new language added
to suspend or revoke a license issued under this
section automatically whenever the Board suspends or
revokes the underlying assistant barber teacher
license. Under former Art. 56, § 436(c)(1), the
assistant barber teacher license was merely "stamped
with the words 'substitute teacher'" and, therefore,
the effect of disciplinary action on the privilege to
act as a substitute teacher was clear. Since,
however, the Board now issues a separate document, the
addition of subsection (d) of this section clarifies
that specific action against the substitute barber
teacher license is not required.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to
"instruction hours in any week" is substituted for the
former reference to "open hours per day", to provide a
practical way of computing the number of hours a
substitute may teach.

Former Art. 56, § 436(c)(3), which required a barber
teacher who is absent to leave a work schedule, is
deleted as unenforceable. The Business Occupations
Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that former § 436(c)(3) may be
more properly a subject for a regulation adopted by
the Board.
