LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §
485(a)(6)(i) and (iv).

Former Art. 56, § 485(a)(6)(i) and (iv) literally
seemed to specify standards only for obtaining a
school permit. However, close examination of the
former law demonstrates that the substance of former
Art. 56, § 485(a)(6)(i) and (iv) was concerned equally
(if not much more) with standards of conduct required
for keeping a school permit -- a concept comparable to
that of listing grounds for which a license may be
revoked under § 5-320 of this title. Therefore, the
dual function of the standards specified in former
Art. 56, § 485(a)(6)(i) and (iv) is reflected by the
reference to these standards under the qualifications
provision of § 5-511 of this subtitle and by the
combined reading of this section with the provisions
for disciplinary action in § 5-523 of this subtitle.

In subsection (a)(2)(ii) of this section, the phrase
"of equipment" is added for clarity.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former
requirement that the program "comprise all or a
majority of the practices of beauty culture" is
deleted in light of § 5-510(b) of this subtitle.

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the former
reference to "the Board of School Commissioners of
Baltimore City" is deleted as encompassed in the
broader reference to a "county board of education".

Defined terms: "County" § 1-101
