MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                      1495

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §470W(a) of the Code. The
provision permitting the department to
cooperate with respect to matters relating
to human or animal health "for purposes of

superfluous. It is assumed the Secretary
will always operate for the most effective
administration of the laws.

The only other changes made are in style.
