WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

The former reference to any person "not licensed as a
barber" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the
definition of "practice barbering" in § 4-101 of this
article, which includes "designing, fitting, or
cutting a hairpiece", and § 5-102(2) of this subtitle.

(P) SCHOOL PERMIT.

"SCHOOL PERMIT" MEANS A PERMIT ISSUED BY THE BOARD TO
OPERATE:

(1)  A SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY; OR

(2)  A POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL OF COSMETOLOGY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
avoid repetition of phrases such as "permit to operate
a cosmetology school".

Defined term: "Board" § 5-101

5-102. SCOPE OF TITLE.

THIS TITLE DOES NOT PROHIBIT:

(1)  AN INDIVIDUAL FROM PRACTICING A HEALTH OCCUPATION
THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS AUTHORIZED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE TO
PRACTICE; OR

(2)  AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS AUTHORIZED TO PRACTICE
BARBERING UNDER TITLE 4 OF THIS ARTICLE FROM PRACTICING
BARBERING.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first sentence of
former Art. 56, § 503.

In item (1) of this section, the reference to a
"health occupation" is substituted for the former
limited reference to "medicine, surgery, dentistry,
chiropody, osteopathy, or chiropractic", to include
specific occupations such as nursing, which seemingly
were intended to be covered by the exclusion in the
former law.

In item (2) of this section, the more general
reference to barbering practiced as authorized "under
Title 4 of this article" is substituted for the former
reference to barbers engaged in "the usual and
ordinary duties of their vocation in shops ordinarily
patronized by men", which was less precise and, since
both men and women now patronize barbershops, also was
obsolete.
