I suspect my edit was too late for you to read. I added a link to http://www.oag.state.md.us/Healthpol/hb917letter.pdf http://www.oag.state.md.us/Healthpol/hb917letter.pdf , where the attorney general describes exemptions:
> Therefore, under the applicable federal regulations, a person may conduct research in an exempt category without, for example, obtaining review by an institutional review board. A Maryland researcher likewise may do so under House Bill 917, because such a person is conducting the research “in accordance with the federal regulations on the protection of human subjects” and, consequently, does not violate the prohibition in § 13-1602(a) of the Health-General Article.
This is dated May 2, which is after the bill passed both houses and before it was signed by the governor.
This seems like the exemptions in §46.102 (b) are all allowed under MD law.
- dragonwriter 12y agoThere seems to me, on the surface, to be some very odd statutory construction underlying that analysis (which is presented in a much less full form than a typical opinion letter, because that's not really what this is, so its really hard to form much of an opinion of its conclusion) -- but certainly it at least indicates how the legal authorities of the State may be likely to apply the law, presuming that their construction of the statute hasn't changed in the intervening decade.
