CHAPTER 530
(House Bill 1212)

AN ACT to add new Section 182A to the Code of Public Local Laws
of Garrett County (1957 Edition, being Article 12 of the Code of
Public Local Laws of Maryland), title "Garrett County," to follow
immediately after Section 182 thereof and to be under the new
subtitle "Governmental Study Commission," to create a Garrett
County Governmental Study Commission to study the governmen-
tal structure of Garrett County, to provide for the appointment of
its members, to provide for its purpose, the reporting of the
Committee, and to provide the necessary funds for its operation.

Whereas, Garrett County has experienced significant changes in
recent years; and

Whereas, Such changes have cast doubt upon the adequacy of
the existing structure or form of County government to meet present
and future needs; and

Whereas, Many proposals have been advanced for a change in
the present structure or form of government; and

Whereas, It is realized that basic changes in government should
not be entered into lightly but should be made for generations; and

Whereas, It is deemed desirable to have a study made first to
determine what changes, if any, in the structure or form of the
County government should be made to best satisfy these needs and
to prepare, if possible, specific recommendations as to the actual
content of any modification of the present structure or of the new
instrument of government; now, therefore,
