REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) through (c) of this section
are standard language added as an inherent, if not
essential, corollary to §§ 4-601 and 4-602(a) of this
subtitle.

Subsection (d) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §
437(a), as that subsection related to unauthorized
representations.

In subsection (d) of this section, the term "barber
school" is substituted for the former reference to "a
school, training or instruction agency for barbers",
for brevity and consistency.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the former
words "firm, or corporation" are deleted as
unnecessary in light of the definition of "person".

Defined terms: "Barber" § 4-101
