LAWS OF MARYLAND

(4) IF AN APPLICANT HAS BEEN ENROLLED IN A
COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL THAT THE OFFICE OF DEPENDENTS' EDUCATION OF
THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OPERATES, THE BOARD SHALL
GIVE THE APPLICANT CREDIT ON AN HOUR-FOR-HOUR BASIS TOWARD
MEETING THE TRAINING REQUIREMENTS OF PARAGRAPH (1) OF THIS
SUBSECTION.

(E)  EXAMINATION.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS SUBTITLE, THE APPLICANT
SHALL PASS AN EXAMINATION GIVEN BY THE BOARD UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

(F)  SCHOOLS IN OTHER STATES.

IF AN APPLICANT HAS BEEN TRAINED IN A COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL IN
ANOTHER STATE, THE BOARD MAY ALLOW THE APPLICANT TO TAKE THE
EXAMINATION ONLY IF THAT STATE:

(1)  HAS STANDARDS SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO OR MORE
STRINGENT THAN THE STANDARDS UNDER §§ 5-512 AND 5-513 OF THIS
TITLE; AND

(2)  ALLOWS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS BEEN TRAINED IN A
COSMETOLOGY SCHOOL IN THIS STATE TO TAKE A COSMETOLOGIST'S
EXAMINATION AFTER THE INDIVIDUAL HAS COMPLETED 1,500 HOURS OF
TRAINING.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language added to introduce the basic requirements for
an applicant for a license.

Subsections (b) through (d) and (f) of this section
are new language derived without substantive change
from former Art. 56, § 482(a).

Subsection (e) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, § 481,
as that section related to passing an examination to
practice cosmetology, and rephrased in standard
language used throughout this article.

In subsections (c) and (d)(1)(ii) of this section, the
words "completed successfully" and "successfully
completing" are added to state expressly that which
only was implied in the former law -- i.e., the
required level of education must be evidenced by
successful completion of a certain program.

In subsection (d)(l)(i) of this section, the word
"registered" is added to modify "apprentice" since an
apprentice must be registered by the Board. See §
5-401(b) of this title.
