1

has been changed to "An appointee".

2

In Section 13, we find the goof which we made

3

and this is the one which I was referring to where we had

4

everybody there, including advice from the Substantive

5

Committee and we did what is obviously, the change which we

6

made in line 14 saying, "No person elected or appointed to",

7

changing that to "No member". It is obviously a substantive

8

change and an error on my part, again called to my attention

9

first at least by Delegate Marvin Smith.

10

The meaning of "No person elected to or

11

appointed to" includes anybody who has been elected or

12

qualified. Once he had been elected or qualified, then he

13

was no longer eligible. The way we stated it was wrong

14

because it would suggest that he had to be a member before

15

he would be unable to be appointed to any other office which

16

had been created while his term was going on, what I would

17

like to suggest is that line 14 reverts to the way it had

18

originally been reported to the Committee of the Whole

19

by the Committee on the Legislative Branch and thus correct-

20

ing the error which we in Style inadvertently allowed to

21

creep in or put in I should say.
