DRAFTER'S NOTE:

Error: Unclear cross-reference in § 19-706(d) of the Health - General
Article. As enacted, § 19-706(h) and (i) of the Health - General Article each
contained a cross-reference to § 490R, but because of prior enactments the
cross-reference to § 490R in each subsection was redesignated by the Michie
Company as §§ 490T and 490U, respectively.

Occurred: Ch. 269, Acts of 1991 and as a result of Chs. 9, 41, 285, and 392,
Acts of 1993. Correction by the Michie Company in the 1993 Cumulative
Supplement of the Health - General Article is validated by this Act.
