MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                     1803

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added
to indicate that the Superintendent may
administer this title. All other references
to the Superintendent and inspector in this
title are proposed for deletion to reflect
the departmental reorganization which
includes the Superintendent or a unit within
the Department, §2—106. Language is added to
indicate that the Secretary has the ultimate
responsibility for administering this Title.

SEC. 11-202. LOCAL INSPECTORS AND DEPUTY LOCAL
INSPECTORS; OFFICES; EXPENSES; SUPPLIES.

(A)   LOCAL INSPECTORS AND DEPUTY LOCAL INSPECTORS.

ANY GOVERNING BODY IN EITHER A COUNTY OR CITY WITH
AN OFFICIAL POPULATION OF AT LEAST 200,000 PERSONS,
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST OFFICIAL STATE OR UNITED
STATES CENSUS, MAY APPOINT A LOCAL INSPECTOR AND

DEPUTY LOCAL [[INSPECTOR]] INSPECTORS IN ACCORDANCE

WITH LOCAL LAW.

(B)   OFFICES; EXPENSES; SUPPLIES.

THE CITY OR COUNTY SHALL PROVIDE A SUITABLE OFFICE
FOR THE LOCAL INSPECTOR AND SHALL PROVIDE FOR THE
NECESSARY CLERICAL SERVICES, SUPPLIES, AND
TRANSPORTATION. THE CITY OR COUNTY SHALL DEFRAY THE
CONTINGENT EXPENSES INCIDENT TO THE OFFICIAL
ACTIVITIES OF THE LOCAL INSPECTOR IN CARRYING OUT THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS TITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) is new language
derived from Art. 97, §13 of the Code.
Baltimore City is the only city with a
population of over 200,000 persons.
According to the Department, the proper term
for local weights and measures officials is
"local inspector". The Model Weights and
Measures Code has abandoned use of the term
"sealer" and refers to an "inspector". The
present reference to "town" is omitted
because any municipality with a population of
200,000 persons usually is considered a city.

Subsection (b) is new language derived from
the first sentence of Art. 97, §16 and set
forth here for organizational purposes.
