REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a)(1), (2)(i), (ii)2 through
4, (iii), and (iv), (3), and (4), (b), and (f)(1) of
this section are new language derived without
substantive change from the second sentence of former
Art. 56, § 523(a), the first through fifth sentences
of (b), and the second sentence of (c).

Subsection (a)(2)(ii)l of this section is new language
added to conform to the practice in appointing the
audiologist member since the enactment of a licensing
law for audiologists.

Subsections (c) and (d)(2) of this section are new
language that repeats the provisions of present Art.
41, § 8-102(d) and (e) and the second sentence of (c).

Subsection (d)(1) of this section is standard language
added as an inherent and essential corollary to
subsection (c)(4) of this section.
