WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 3

The broad reference to a "contested case" makes this
section generally applicable to any case in which an
opportunity for a hearing must be afforded and, thus,
makes this section applicable to more than
disciplinary actions under § 2-317 of this title.
Accordingly, this section is included in this
subtitle, rather than Subtitle 3 of this title, and
former Art. 75A, § 2-413, which provided a right of
judicial review to a person against whom the Board
acts under § 2-410 of this title, is deleted as
surplusage.

No other changes are made.

Defined terms: "Board" § 2-101
"Person" § 1-101

2-210. AUTHORITY OF SECRETARY.

THE BOARD EXERCISES ITS POWERS, DUTIES, AND FUNCTIONS
SUBJECT TO THE AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 75A,
§ 2-209.

The former reference that narrowly limited the
Secretary's authority to the powers and duties of the
Board "as set forth in this title" is deleted as
misleading. Presumably, the powers and duties of the
Board wherever codified are to be subject to the
authority of the Secretary.

No other changes are made.

Defined terms: "Board" § 2-101
"Secretary" § 1-101

SUBTITLE 3. LICENSES.

2-301. LICENSE REQUIRED; EXCEPTIONS.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE, AN INDIVIDUAL
SHALL BE LICENSED BY THE BOARD BEFORE THE INDIVIDUAL MAY PRACTICE
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY IN THE STATE.

(B)  EXCEPTIONS.

THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT
LICENSED BY ANOTHER STATE OR A FOREIGN COUNTRY WHILE THE
ACCOUNTANT TEMPORARILY PRACTICES CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANCY IN
THIS STATE, IF:
