BY REGULATION, THE DEPARTMENT MAY PROVIDE THAT INDUSTRIALIZED
BUILDINGS APPROVED BY ANOTHER STATE ARE ENTITLED TO CERTIFICATION BY
THE DEPARTMENT IF, AFTER PUBLIC HEARING, THE DEPARTMENT DETERMINES
THAT THE STANDARDS SET BY LAW OF THE OTHER STATE:

(1)   ARE AT LEAST EQUAL TO THE REGULATIONS ADOPTED UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE; AND

(2)   ARE ENFORCED ADEQUATELY BY THE OTHER STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the fourth and fifth sentences and the second clause of the
third sentence of former Art. 83B, § 6-204(a).

In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the reference
to standards set "by law" is substituted for the former reference to
standards set "by statute, rule or regulation" for brevity.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the word "actually", which formerly
modified "adequately enforced", is deleted as surplusage.

Defined terms: "Department" § 12-301
"Industrialized building" § 12-301
"State" § 1-101
