652 MARYLAND MANUAL [Art. 11-F
propose by resolution that the county become a code county
and be governed by the provisions of this Article. Upon the
adoption of such a resolution, it shall be certified to the
Board of Supervisors of Elections in the county, which
Board (pursuant to the election laws of the State) shall
submit to the voters of the county at the next ensuing
general election the question whether the resolution shall
be approved or rejected. If in the referendum a majority
of those persons voting on this question vote for the resolu-
tion, the resolution is approved, and the county shall become
a code county under the provisions of this Article, on the
thirtieth day after the election. If in the referendum a
majority of those persons voting on this question vote
against the resolution, the resolution is rejected, and of no
further effect.
Provided that if at the next ensuing general election there
shall be submitted to the voters of the county a proposed
charter under Article IIA of this Constitution, the pro-
posed charter only shall be submitted to the voters at that
next ensuing general election. If the proposed charter is
adopted by the voters, this particular resolution to become
a code county shall not be submitted to the voters and shall
have no further effect. If the proposed charter is rejected
by the voters, the code question under this Article shall be
submitted to the voters at the general election two years
later, and no charter question under Article IIA shall be
submitted to the voters at that general election.
SEC. 3. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, a
code county may enact, amend, or repeal a public local law
of that county, following the procedure in this Article.
SEC. 4. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the
General Assembly shall not enact, amend, or repeal a public
local law which is special or local in its terms or effect
within a code county. The General Assembly may enact,
amend, or repeal public local laws applicable to code coun-
ties only by general enactments which in term and effect
apply alike to all code counties in one or more of the classes
provided for in Section 5 of this Article.
SEC. 5. The General Assembly, by law, shall classify all
code counties by grouping them into not more than four
classes based either upon population as determined in the
most recent Federal or State census or upon such other
criteria as determined by the General Assembly to be appro-
priate. Not more than one such grouping of code counties
into four (or fewer) classes may be in effect at any one
