HARRY HUGHES, Governor

991

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from the first clause of
former Art. 40, § 27(e)(1). It is revised as a
definition to clarify the former references to a
"standing committee" that were not modified by a
reference to the Senate or House rules.

Defined terms: "House" § 2-101
"Senate" § 2-101

SUBTITLE 2. LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTING PLAN OF 1982.

RESERVED.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

As required by Md. Constitution, Art. III, § 5, the plan
that sets forth the boundaries of the legislative districts and
the ancillary provisions on elections are adopted through joint
resolution of the General Assembly.

JR 1 (1982) codified these provisions as Art. 40, §§ 46

through 47C of the Code. Ch. ___, Acts of 1984, which enacted

this article, transferred former Art. 40, §§ 46 through 47C,
without amendment, to be §§ 2-201 through 2-205 of this article.

Note that, under Md. Constitution, Art. III, § 5, the Court
of Appeals has original jurisdiction to review the plan for
legislative districts. The Court, in a per curiam decision dated
June 4, 1932, approved, without modification, the legislative
districting plan of 1982, as adopted in JR 1 (1982). Wiser v.
Hughes, 51 U.S.L.W. 3150 (U.S. Aug. 30, 1982), appeal dismissed,
103 S.Ct. 286 (1982) and Andrews v. Hughes, appeal dismissed, 103
S.Ct. 286 (1982).

SUBTITLE 3. LEGISLATIVE COMPENSATION.

RESERVED.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Md. Constitution, Art. III, § 15 provides for the
compensation of the General Assembly to be set by a joint
resolution submitted by the General Assembly Compensation
Commission.

Unlike the provisions on legislative districting, which are
set out in JR 1 (1982) as provisions of the Code, the provisions
on legislative compensation are not codified. The Commission to
Revise the Annotated Code has reserved this subtitle so that, on
adoption of a legislative compensation resolution, the provisions
may be codified here.

SUBTITLE 4. LEGISLATIVE POLICY COMMITTEE.
