    Title 10
    DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND MENTAL HYGIENE
    Subtitle 56 BOARD OF DIETETIC PRACTICE
    10.56.02 Fees
    Authority: Health Occupations Article, §§5–205, 5–206, 5–303, and 5–308, Annotated Code of Maryland
    Notice of Proposed Action
    [17-157-P]
    The Secretary of Health and Mental Hygiene proposes to amend Regulation .02 under COMAR 10.56.02 Fees. This action was considered at a public meeting held on March 16, 2017, notice of which was given by publication on the Board’s website at http://dhmh.maryland.gov/dietetic/Pages/Index.aspx pursuant to General Provisions Article, §3–302(c), Annotated Code of Maryland.
    Statement of Purpose
    The purpose of this action is to repeal the late fee for licensees who renew their licenses between November 1 and December 31 of the renewal year. The Board has set the deadline for all licensees to renew their license on or before October 31. According to the Board’s statute, Health Occupations Article, §5-308(a)(1), Annotated Code of Maryland, a licensee who has failed to renew by that date cannot practice in the Maryland. However, the Board’s current regulation allows for a licensee who renews between November 1 and December 31 to pay a late fee in addition to the renewal fee in order to renew. This proposal will bring the Board’s regulations into compliance with the law by deleting the conflicting language and clarifying that a licensee who fails to renew their license by October 31 will have to reinstate their license.
    Comparison to Federal Standards
    There is no corresponding federal standard to this proposed action.
    Estimate of Economic Impact
    The proposed action has no economic impact.
     
    Economic Impact on Small Businesses
    The proposed action has minimal or no economic impact on small businesses.
    Impact on Individuals with Disabilities
    The proposed action has no impact on individuals with disabilities.
