Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

Former Art. 56, § 319, which provided for the severability
of former Art. 56, §§ 299 through 319A, is deleted as unnecessary
in light of Art. 1, § 23 of the Code.

Former Art. 56, § 310 included qualifications for a license
that were in effect from July 1, 1972, through May 26, 1977.
Although parts of former § 310 were transitory in effect and
their intended purposes already have been served, the provisions
of that section have been transferred to the Session Laws, to
avoid any possible argument that there is no authority to
continue to license the individuals who were licensed under
former Art. 56, § 310. However, former Art. 56, § 312, which
provided for examinations "[w]hen ... required", is deleted since
examinations only were required under one of the former, and now
obsolete, alternatives in former Art. 56, § 310. See the
revisor's note to § 7-304 of this title.

TITLE 8. HEARING AID DEALERS.
SUBTITLE 1. DEFINITIONS; GENERAL PROVISIONS.
8-101. DEFINITIONS.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

IN THIS TITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS
INDICATED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from the introductory
phrase of former Art. 56, § 508 and rephrased in the
standard introductory language to a definition
section.

The former clause "unless the context otherwise
requires" is deleted as unnecessary, since the former
clause merely repeated the normal rule of statutory
construction.

(B)  BOARD.

"BOARD" MEANS THE STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS FOR HEARING AID
DEALERS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §
508(1).

The name of the Board is conformed to the substantive
provision that creates the Board. See the revisor's
note to § 8-201 of this title.
