WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
substituted for the first sentence of former Art. 56,
§ 485(e), which provided for courses in certain
aspects of cosmetology to be "established and taught
by a school of beauty culture ... or by specialized
schools of beauty culture established for the purpose
of teaching one or more the aforementioned courses".
The substituted language clarifies that a limited
practice school must have a school permit and
otherwise meet the requirements of this subtitle. The
substituted language also clarifies that providing
demonstrating services is one of the permissible areas
of instruction. Similarly, the substituted language
covers all aspects of providing esthetic services,
rather than the former limited scope of removing
superfluous hair or massaging or making applications
to a face.

Subsection (c) of this section is new language added
to state expressly that which only was implied in the
former law -- i.e., a separate school permit must be
obtained for each school.

Subsection (d) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from the requirement for
compliance in item (d) of the second sentence of
former Art. 56, § 500.

In subsection (a) of this section, the defined term
"school permit" is substituted for the former
references to "certificate of registration", to
conform to changes in terminology made throughout this
article. See the General Revisor's Note to this
article. Accordingly, the third clause of the first
sentence of former Art. 56, § 480(d), which provided
for the certificate to be known as a "school license",
is deleted.

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

The fourth clause of the first sentence of former Art.
56, § 480(d), which provided that "no examination
shall be required", is deleted as unnecessary since
nothing in this title purports to require an
examination for school permits.

The second sentence of former Art. 56, § 480(d), which
required the new owner of a school to notify the Board
about the change in ownership, is deleted as
misleading, since, in practice, a new owner must apply
for and obtain a school permit. The General Assembly
