MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                    453

created by Article 66C, section 110H of
the Code, every statutory unit is
enumerated here to provide a comprehensive
statutory table.

The words "department and agency" in the
first sentence of the present law are
omitted because no such description now
applies to any unit of the Department of
Natural Resources which is the only
department. For an explanation of the use
of the term "unit" see the revisor's note
to section 1—101(d). The reference in the
present law which includes the other
agencies, boards, units, within the
department is omitted as unnecessary. When
additional or substitute units within the
department are created by law, this statute
shall be appropriately amended.

In subsection (c) new language is added to
indicate to the Code user that other
provisions of this Article may provide for
the organization of an advisory board. At
this time, only the Advisory Committee on
Archeology is subject to provisions not set
forth here. See section 2-304.
