AS THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CONSIDER APPROPRIATE, THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS SHALL PROVIDE FOR THE BOARD A CLERK, LEGAL COUNSEL,
SUPPLIES, AND FUNDING.
(G) SALARY.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY PAY SALARIES TO THE MEMBERS OF THE
BOARD.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 253A(d).
In subsection (b)(5) of this section, the reference to a "chairperson" is
substituted for the former reference to a "chairman" because SG § 2-1238
requires the use of words that are neutral as to gender to the extent
practicable.
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to "October 1, 2002" is
substituted for the former reference to. "July 1, 1989" to reflect the effective
date of this article.
In the introductory language of subsection (d) of this section, the former
phrase "[i]n addition to any powers set forth elsewhere" is deleted as
implicit in the grant of powers to the board under subsection (d) of this
section. Similarly, in the introductory language of subsection (e) of this
section, the former phrase "[i]n addition to any duties set forth elsewhere"
is deleted as implicit in the imposition of duties on the board under
subsection (e) of this section.
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that in subsection (b)(2)(iii) of this section, the
requirement to have a member of the clergy on a body created by State law
may violate both the federal and State constitutions. The involvement of
religion in a regulatory body appears to violate the First Amendment to the
U.S. Constitution. In addition, the requirement may violate Article 37 of
the Md. Declaration of Rights, in that it requires a governmental body to
have religion as a qualification of office. See Letter of Advice from Attorney
General J. Joseph Curran, Jr. to Judge Alan M. Wilner, pp, 6-7 (May 21,
2001).
