OF AN AMENDMENT PUBLISHED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE

(1) __THE PUBLIC LAWS, ORDINANCES, REGULATIONS, AND

RESOLUTIONS APPROVED AND ENACTED BY A COUNTY OR

MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE STATE, THE MAYOR AND CITY

COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE, THE MARYLAND NATIONAL CAPITAL

PARK AND PLANNING COMMISSION, OR THE WASHINGTON

SUBURBAN SANITARY COMMISSION, SHALL BE JUDICIALLY

NOTICED OR READ IN EVIDENCE FROM THE PRINTED VOLUMES

OR FROM A TRUE COPY OF AN AMENDMENT PUBLISHED BY THE

AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL CORPORATION.

(2) A RULE, REGULATION, OR BY-LAW OF AN AGENCY

SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ART. 41, SEC. 9 OF THE

CODE SHALL BE JUDICIALLY NOTICED OR READ IN EVIDENCE

FROM THE PRINTED VOLUMES OF THE COPY FILED IN THE

COURT OF APPEALS IF THE AGENCY HAS COMPLIED WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF ART. 41, SEC 9.

(B) PRIVATE LAWS.

THE PRIVATE LAWS AND RESOLUTIONS PUBLISHED BY THE
AUTHORITY OF THE STATE MAY BE READ IN EVIDENCE FROM
THE PRINTED STATUTE BOOK.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) is new language
derived from Art. 35, §§ 66 and 66A.
Subsection (a) (2) is inserted to provide for
judicial notice of regulations of
administrative agencies which are required to
be filed, and to limit such notice to those
regulations which have actually been filed as
required by Art. 41, §9. Subsection (b)
presently appears as Art. 35, §61. These
sections are concerned with the named subject
matter, but refer to different governmental
agencies. The procedure for producing
evidence is broadened to cover all
governmental activities. This does not
materially change substantive law because all
laws, ordinances, regulations, and
resolutions may be proved in this fashion.
The revision of these sections merely
combines the procedures which presently
control all agencies and places the statutory
authority in one section.
