language added to state expressly that which only was
implied in the former law -- i.e., applications may be
made only on the form that the Board provides.

without substantive change from the first sentence of
former Art. 56, § 278(h) and, as it related to the
examination fee, § 273(3).

In item (2) of this section, the reference to an
"application fee" is substituted for the former
reference to an "examination fee", because the Board
charges a single fee, which is paid on application for
a license and covers both the application and
examination processes.
