The Business Occupations Article Review Committee
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly, that
this section does not seem to be limited to hearing
aid dealers. The General Assembly may wish to
consider whether this section should be amended to
limit expressly its application to hearing aid
dealers.

Defined terms: "Board" § 8-101
"Fit hearing aids" § 8-101 "Person"

§ 1-101

8-208. DISPOSITION OF MONEY.

THE BOARD SHALL PAY ALL MONEY COLLECTED UNDER THIS TITLE
INTO THE GENERAL FUND OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived

The former requirement that money "be accounted for to
the State Comptroller" is deleted as implicit in the
requirement that the money is part of the General Fund
of the State. See SF § 6-213(a).
