COMPARISON OF CONSTITUTIONS

CONSTITUTION OF 1867

PROPOSED CONSTITUTION OF 1968

more, and in any county as the President


of the County Council of the county, and


all references in the Constitution and Laws


of this State to the Mayor of Baltimore and


City Council of the City of Baltimore or to


the County Commissioners of the counties,


shall be construed to refer to the Mayor of


Baltimore and City Council of the City of


Baltimore and to the President and County


Council herein provided for whenever such


construction Would be reasonable. From and


after the adoption of a charter by the City


of Baltimore, or any county of this State, as


hereinbefore provided, the Mayor of Balti-


more and City Council of the City of


Baltimore or the County Council of said


county, subject to the Constitution and


Public General Laws of this State, shall have


full power to enact local laws of said city or


county including the power to repeal or


amend local laws of said city or county


enacted by the General Assembly, upon


all matters covered by the express powers


granted as above provided; provided that


nothing herein contained shall be construed


to authorize or empower the County Council


of any county in this State to enact laws or


regulations for any incorporated town,


village, or municipality in said county, on


any matter covered by the powers granted


to said town, village, or municipality by the


Act incorporating it, or any subsequent Act


or Acts amendatory thereto. Provided, how-


ever, that the charters for the various


counties shall specify the number of days,


not to exceed forty-five, which may but need


not be consecutive, that the County Coun-


cil of the counties may sit in each year for


the purpose of enacting legislation for such


counties, and all legislation shall be enacted


at the times so designated for that purpose


in the charter, and all laws and ordinances


so enacted shall be published once a week


for three successive weeks in at least one


newspaper published in such counties, so


that the taxpayers and citizens may have


notice thereof. This provision shall not


apply to Baltimore City. All such local laws


enacted by the Mayor of Baltimore and


City Council of the City of Baltimore or the


Council of the counties as hereinbefore


provided, shall be subject to the same rules


of interpretation as those now applicable to


the Public Local Laws of this State, except


that in case of any conflict between said


local law and any Public General Law now


or hereafter enacted the Public General


Law shall control.
