The Division of State Documents was created
within the Office of the Secretary of State in 1974.
The administrator is appointed by the Governor
and is responsible for the administration of the
State Documents Law (Code State Government
Article, secs. 7-201 through 7-222, 11-101
through 11-129).
The primary duties of the Division are to print
and distribute two official State publications: (1)
the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR), the
permanent compilation of the Governor's execu-
tive orders, all State agency regulations, and all
opinions issued by the State Ethics Commission,
and (2) the Maryland Register, a bi-weekly publica-
tion that serves as a temporary supplement to
COMAR.
The Register prints all proposed, adopted, and
emergency regulations of the State's administrative
agencies, notices of public hearings and meetings,
synopses of opinions of the Attorney General,
proposed and adopted rules of court, hearing
calendars of the Courts of Appeal, synopses of all
legislation proposed, enacted, and vetoed each
legislative session of the General Assembly, synop-
ses of significant decisions by the Employment
Security Administration's Board of Appeals, all

Executive Orders, all gubernatorial appointments,
notices of bids requested and awards announced on
all State contracts valued above $25,000, and any
other document the General Assembly requires or
the Committee on Administrative, Executive and
Legislative Review (AELR) permits to be pub-
lished. An index to the Register is published
quarterly, with the last quarterly index being
cumulative for the year. All adopted regulations,
and Executive Orders that are generally permanent
in nature, are periodically taken from the pages of
the Register and integrated into COMAR by
means of published supplements.
Administrative regulations are not effective (ex-
cept emergency regulations) until notice of their
adoption is published in the Maryland Register.
The text of any document appearing in the Mary-
land Register and COMAR is the only official,
valid, and enforceable text of that document. Any
document appearing in the Maryland Register and
COMAR is accorded judicial notice in all court
proceedings.
Subscription information and free informational
brochures pertaining to both the Maryland Regis-
ter and COMAR may be obtained by writing or
calling the Division's offices.
