SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That Section 4.05(d) of Article 66B of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (1972 Supplement), title "Zoning and Planning," subtitle "General
Development Regulations and Zoning," be and it is hereby repealed and
re-enacted, with amendments, to read as follows:

4.05

(d) The territorial planning and zoning jurisdiction of the planning and zoning
commission of any incorporated town of Talbot County shall include all land
located within the corporate boundaries of said town, and territorial planning and
zoning jurisdiction of the planning and zoning commission of Talbot County shall
include all land lying outside of the corporate boundaries of any incorporated town
of Talbot County. The planning and zoning commission of any incorporated town
of Talbot County shall have territorial planning and zoning jurisdiction over all
land lying within one mile of its corporate boundaries at such time as the
incorporated town shall have approved and adopted a master plan and zoning
ordinances for such area, at which such time the authority of the planning and
zoning commission of Talbot County over such land shall be divested,
PROVIDED THAT ANY INCORPORATED TOWN OF TALBOT COUNTY
MAY WAIVE PLANNING AND ZONING JURISDICTION OVER ANY
LAND LYING WITHIN ONE MILE OF ITS CORPORATE BOUNDARIES.
If the corporate limits of any incorporated town of Talbot County shall be
extended at any time after June 1, 1971, planning and zoning jurisdiction of such
town shall apply only within the corporate boundaries defined by such extension
and not to all land lying within one mile of such extended boundaries which land
shall remain under the jurisdiction of the planning and zoning commission of
Talbot County. After June 1, 1971, the planning and zoning commission of any
incorporated town of Talbot County must give no less than seven (7) days' notice
to, and consult with, the planning and zoning commission of Talbot County
concerning any proposed changes in the existing planning and/or zoning of land
lying within one mile of the corporate boundaries of any such incorporated town,
jurisdiction over which such land the planning and zoning commission of the town
has previously acquired under the terms of this section.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect July 1, 1973.
