PA's proposed law does have reciprosity built into it, but it requires that the license requirements of the other state be equal to or exceeding that of PA. The way I'm reading MD's legislation, MD's license requirements wouldn't be considered equal to PA's requirements. They don't seem to be as stringent.

MD's requirements, however, seem to be more reasonable and much more to my liking.

[John Nosworthy]

I'm glad you prefer MD's apparent advantages over PA. It does seem like PA placed the emphasis differently. Some of us regularly working in Maryland remain concerned about implementation. Also, we haven't seen any final SOP requirements, so that remains an unknown.

The understanding is that the SOP will be a combination of ASHI and NAHI.

[John Nosworthy]

John,
I haven't followed PA's battle at all. Are you suggesting it is the PA SOP that will likely be crafted from ASHI and NAHI SOP's? You are not talking about MD are you? Cause if you were I have to aske where that was learned?
thanks,
john

Excuse me, sir, but are you referring to me? If so, my name is spelled Delaney, not with a U. And, what does it matter where we operate from? I am from the Grant County, WV area, and live in the Mon County, WV area. Geographically, this line cuts through Western Maryland. My brother and I serve this area because of geographics, not because we want to take the business from MD inspectors.

And, I thought both of these states were in the USA......free enterprise????
