11-502. CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICABILITY OF SUBTITLE.

(A)  NO RIGHT TO HEARING CREATED.

THIS SUBTITLE MAY NOT BE CONSTRUED TO REQUIRE A HEARING OR
TO REQUIRE A STATE UNIT TO PARTICIPATE IN A HEARING ON AN
APPLICATION FOR A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT BEFORE THE STATE UNIT IF THE
LAW GOVERNING THE DEVELOPMENT PERMIT INVOLVED DOES NOT REQUIRE A
HEARING.

(B)  PROCEDURE WHERE NO HEARING HELD.

A STATE UNIT THAT DOES NOT HOLD A HEARING ON AN APPLICATION
FOR A DEVELOPMENT PERMIT SHALL PROCEED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW
AND PROCEDURES APPLICABLE TO THE ISSUANCE OF DEVELOPMENT PERMITS
BY THAT STATE UNIT, EXCEPT THAT THE STATE UNIT SHALL ACT ON THE
APPLICATION WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER RECEIVING THE COMPLETED
APPLICATION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 78A,
§ 60(d).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference
"[t]his subtitle" is substituted for the more limited,
former reference "[n]either this section nor § 59",
for brevity and clarity. Although the substituted
language encompasses -- in addition to former §§ 59
and 60 -- former §§ 61 through 65, no change is
effected since the additional provisions govern after
an election to participate.

In subsection (b) of this section, the duty to "act on
the application within 60 days after receiving the
completed application" is substituted for the former
