HARRY HUGHES, Governor
1123
GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:
Former Art. 41, § 15A, which provided statutory means to
fill a vacancy in the office of Governor, is deleted as obsolete
in light of the later enacted provisions in Md. Constitution,
Art. II, § 6, which provides different means.
Former Art. 41, § 15D, which created a statutory office of
lieutenant governor, is deleted in light of Md. Constitution,
Art. II, § 1A, which provides for a lieutenant governor. Under
former Art. 41, § 15D(g), if the Constitutional amendment to
create an office of lieutenant governor failed, former Art. 41,
§ 15D was abrogated. On the other hand, under former Art. 41, §
15D(f), if the amendment was ratified, the individual holding
office under the statute assumed the Constitutional office.
Thus, Art. 41, § 15D appeared to be intended only as an interim
provision. Most of former Art. 41, § 15D is duplicative of
Constitutional provisions and clearly is unnecessary. However,
Art. 41, § 15D(d) prohibited delegation of any power that the
Maryland Constitution vests in the Governor to the Lieutenant
Governor.
Former Art. 41, § 48, which enabled the Governor to sign and
to affix the State seal to a land patent, is deleted as obsolete,
with respect to the Commissioner of the Land Office, and as
unnecessary in light of RP § 13-502, which requires the Governor
to sign and seal land patents presented by the Commissioner of
Land Patents, who succeeded to the duties of the Commissioner of
the Land Office.
TITLE 4. COMPTROLLER.
4-101. POSITION.
THERE IS A COMPTROLLER OF THE STATE, AS PROVIDED IN ARTICLE
VI, § 1 OF THE MARYLAND CONSTITUTION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added as a
general reference to the Constitutional provision that
creates the position of Comptroller.
4-102. SURETY BOND.
(A) REQUIRED.
WHILE IN OFFICE, THE COMPTROLLER SHALL BE COVERED BY A
SURETY BOND AS REQUIRED IN THIS SECTION.
(B) FORM AND CONDITIONS.
THE SURETY BOND OF THE COMPTROLLER SHALL:
(1) RUN TO THE STATE;
(2) BE IN THE AMOUNT OF $200,000;
