WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                        Ch. 3

law -- i.e., the Board may require an applicant to
satisfy the additional licensing requirement.

The third sentence of former Art. 56, § 468(a)(4),
which allowed the Board to require a "nonprofessional
degree applicant to pass a qualifying examination", is
deleted as obsolete because the Board no longer
administers this examination.

Defined terms: "Board" § 3-101
"Council" § 3-301 "License" § 3-101

3-304. APPLICATIONS FOR LICENSES.

AN APPLICANT FOR A LICENSE:

(1)  SHALL SUBMIT TO THE BOARD AN APPLICATION ON THE
FORM THAT THE BOARD PROVIDES; AND

(2)  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN § 3-306(B) OR (C) OF THIS
SUBTITLE, SHALL PAY TO THE BOARD AN APPLICATION FEE SET BY THE
BOARD TO APPROXIMATE THE COST OF ADMINISTERING THE REQUIRED
EXAMINATION TO THE APPLICANT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §§
468(a)(1) and (2) and 472(b) and the first clause of §
466(h).

In the introductory language of this section, the
reference to a "license" is substituted for the former
reference to "registration", for consistency and
conformity to changes in terminology made throughout
this article. See the General Revisor's Note to this
article.

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

Accordingly, the former references to licensure "by
written examination" and to applicants "to be tested"
are deleted so that item (1) of this section applies
whether the applicant must take an examination or
meets the requirements for waiver of examination.
However, the introductory language of item (2) of this
section, "except as provided in § 3-306(b) or (c) of
this subtitle", is added to avoid imposing dual
application fee requirements on applicants who waive
the examination.
