AN INDIVIDUAL MAY NOT PROVIDE HEARING AID SERVICES WHILE
KNOWINGLY HAVING A CONTAGIOUS OR INFECTIOUS DISEASE.

without substantive change from former Art. 56, §

521(4).

Defined term: "Provide hearing aid services" § 8-101

8-513. PROVIDING SERVICES UNDER FALSE NAME.

A PERSON MAY NOT PROVIDE HEARING AID SERVICES UNDER A FALSE
