Section 10 of Article 4512b provides in part:
"All applicants for license to practice
chiropractic in this State, not otherwise li-
censed under the provisions od this law, must
successfully pass an examination by te Texas
Board of Chiropractic Examiners established by
this law. . . .. (mpnasis- aooea)
Nothing is said in Sections 9 or 10 (above) con-
cerning applicants who have passed the National Board exam-
inations. Clearly the Legislature included, under these Sec-
tions, all applicants from other states and territories outside
of TexaslW The language used in Sections 9 and 10 is plain and
unambiguous in its meaning and in such case the law will be
applied and enforced as it reads, regardless of policy, fair-
ness or justice of its effects. Gilmore v. Waples, 108 Tex.

In Attorney General's Opinion No. V-265 (1947), it
was decided that the State Board of Nurse Examiners was not
authorized to delegate to the National League of Nursing Educa-
tion (National Board) the right to prepare and grade examinations
for Texas registered nursing applicants. The reason for such
decision was based on the fact that the Legislature had given
this duty to the State Board and the Board was not statutorily
authorized to re-delegate this duty.
Subsequently, this office decided that the State
Nursing Board could adopt and utilize examination questions
prepared by the National League of Nursing Education. Attorney
