Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

Item (2) of this section is new language added to make
specific reference to a violation of the requirements
for the operation of barber schools as set forth in §
4-513 of this subtitle. In any event, a violation of
these standards would be subject to disciplinary
action under § 4-316(8) of this title.

Items (3) and (4) of this section are new language
added to conform to almost all of the occupational
licensing acts adopted by the General Assembly in the
past several years.

In the introductory language of this section, the
reference to the power of the Board to reprimand a
permit holder is added to state specifically a power
that is inherent in the express power to suspend or
revoke a permit.

For comparable disciplinary provisions that relate to
licensees, see § 4-316 of this title.

Defined terms: "Barbershop permit" § 4-101
"Board" § 4-101 "School permit" § 4-101
