Delegate Grant, Mr. Miller, staff advisor to

2

the Committee, suggests to the Chair that it is improper

3

to make these changes because the definition of county,

4

including Baltimore City, is in the Constitution and it

5

says in this Constitution that shall be the case. That

6

is not carried over to Article 1 of the Code where the

7

definitions are so that they have consistently followed

8

the practice in the Schedule of Legislation of referring

9

to Baltimore City separately. It occurs to the Chair that

10

that it proper until the definition is incorporated in

11

Article 1 of the Code.

DELEGATE GRANT: In that case, we are going to

14

have lots of trouble because we are consistently referring

15

to counties --

16

THE PRESIDENT: That is true in the Constitution

17

Delegate Grant.

18

DELEGATE GRANT: The same situation occurs on

19

20

Baltimore City is included.
