LAWS OF MARYLAND

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to licensure "by written examination" is
deleted so that the requirements in subsections (b),
(c), and (e) of this section apply whether the
applicant must take an examination or meets the
requirements for waiver of examination. This deletion
is not inconsistent with former Art. 56, § 468(c)(1)
and (2), which specifically referred to registration
"without examination" but did not refer to waiver of
any other qualifications. Accordingly, subsection
(c)(2) of this section is revised as an exemption from
"the degree requirements", rather than the former
admission "to take the examination requirement", since
subsection (c)(2) of this section could apply to an
applicant who also meets the requirements for waiver
of examination.

In subsection (b) of this section, the term "good
character and reputation" is standard language
substituted for the former term "good moral
character", to conform to similar provisions elsewhere
in this article.

In subsection (c)(l)(i) and (ii) and (2) of this
section, the phrase "in architecture" is added to
clarify the type of experience and academic training
that is required for licensing.

In subsection (c)(1)(ii) of this section, the word
"additional" is added to modify the reference to
"academic training", to clarify the former references
to "practical experience including academic training".
Since academic training is not illustrative of
practical experience, the Business Occupations Article
Review Committee concluded that the former word
"including" was intended to allow the Board to
determine appropriate experience and training.

In subsection (c)(1)(i)l of this section, the word
"after" is substituted for the former ambiguous word
"of", to clarify the manner in which the 2-year period
is to be measured.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the word "shall"
is substituted for the former word "may" to clarify
that the Board does not have discretion to deny an
exemption to a qualified applicant once the Board
chooses to set criteria for experience and training
"that the Board considers appropriate".

Subsection (e) of this section is revised to state
expressly that which only was implied in the former
