Nurse Practice Act & Regulations

Maryland laws and regulations can be found in your local court library and often in your local public library or on the internet. The Board of Nursing does not fax or mail individual copies of the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR).

Nurses licensed in Maryland can receive a copy of the Nurse Practice Act by contacting Anika Alford, Administrative Assistant, by e-mail, by fax, or in writing. Nurses need to include name, Maryland license number, and mailing address. All others can receive a copy of the Practice Act by writing your request to Ms. Alford and enclosing a check or money order of $10.00 made out to "Maryland Board of Nursing"

You need Adobe® Acrobat® Reader installed on your computer to view and print the [PDF] documents on this page. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, download a FREE copy.
