unnecessary. The former prohibition apparently was
intended to serve 2 purposes: first, to prohibit the
attempted practice of forestry by use of an invalid
license; and second, to prohibit misrepresentations by
use of an invalid license. These specific
prohibitions are fully encompassed in the general
prohibitions under this section against practicing,
attempting to practice, and offering to practice, and
the general prohibition under § 7-502 of this subtitle
against misrepresentations.

Defined terms: "Board" § 7-101

"Person" § 1-101 "Practice forestry" § 7-101

7-502. MISREPRESENTATION AS AUTHORIZED PRACTITIONER.

UNLESS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS TITLE TO PRACTICE FORESTRY, A

INCLUDING "LICENSED FORESTER", "PROFESSIONAL FORESTER",
"REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL FORESTER", OR "REGISTERED FORESTER", BY

THAT THE PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO PRACTICE FORESTRY IN THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §§ 299
and 318, as those sections related to the use of
titles or to other representations that a person is
authorized to practice forestry, and rephrased in
standard language used to express a prohibition
against false representation of authority to practice
a regulated occupation.

Defined terms: "Licensed forester" § 7-101
