1442                            LAWS OF MARYLAND                       [CH. 667

(2)  Preliminary Public Hearing. Before adopting a General Plan,
Local Master Plan, or Functional Master Plan, the Commission shall
prepare a preliminary version thereof and shall hold a public hearing
thereon, thirty (80) days' notice of the time and place of which shall
be given by at least one publication in a newspaper of general circu-
lation in the county affected. Such plan may be adopted by the Com-
mission without further hearing or notice if no substantial changes
are made therein.

(3)  Second Public Hearing. No plan or part thereof shall be
adopted by the Commission which includes any amendment, exten-
sion, or addition not presented to the Commission at a public hearing;
provided, however, that further changes may be made by the Com-
mission without further hearing where such changes are reasonably
required for the purpose of integrating into the plan any amendment,
extension or addition proposed at the hearing. All such changes
shall be separately enumerated and specifically set forth with the
reasons therefor stated in the Commission's resolution of adoption.
If a second public hearing is held, notice of such hearing shall be
the same as required for the hearing on the preliminary plan; the
notice shall contain a brief description of all variations from the
preliminary plan unless the proposed plan is printed and copies of
same, containing such description, are made available for general
public distribution.

(4) Adoption. The adoption of any plan shall be by resolution
of the Commission carried by the affirmative votes of not less than
six members of the Commission of whom not less than three members
shall be from Montgomery County and not less than three members
from Prince George's County, provided that for the adoption of a
local master plan or a functional master plan which lies entirely
within one county the affirmative votes of three members from that
county shall prevail and shall be sufficient to adopt said plan. The
resolution on the adoption of the plan shall refer expressly to the
maps and descriptive and other matter intended by the Commission
to form the whole or part of the plan, and the action taken shall
be recorded on the map, plan, or descriptive matter by the iden-
tifying signature of the chairman and secretary-treasurer of the
Commission.

(5)  Amendments. The Commission may amend the general plan,
or any local master plan or functional plan by resolution carried
by the affirmative votes of not less than three members from each
county affected by such amendment, upon the holding of at least
one public hearing, thirty (30) days' notice of the time and place
of which shall be given by at least one publication in a newspaper
of general circulation in the county affected.

(6)  Certification and Filing. An attested copy of the plan or any
part thereof or any amendment or extension or addition thereto
shall be certified by the Commission to and filed with the clerk of
the Circuit Court of each of Montgomery and Prince George's
Counties.

[(d) In Montgomery County the Commission shall, in its resolu-
tion adopting such plan, define in detail the boundary of the area
to which the plan applies.]

[(e) Montgomery County. In Montgomery County at least 30
days prior to the public hearing of any detailed watershed or
