with the Code of Public General Laws, in a separate
portion or volume of the Code, in the same manner as the
Maryland Rules are published, so long as it remains
unrevoked, except that an executive order issued pursuant
to § 15B of this article need not be so published, and an
executive order issued in statutory form pursuant to
Article II of the Constitution shall be codified in the
same manner as statutes enacted by the General Assembly.

(2) To the extent feasible, each executive order

published in the Code shall be classified and arranged

according to the article of the Code to which the order
pertains.

In addition to other rule—making requirements
imposed by law:

(a)  Each agency shall adopt rules governing the
formal and informal procedures prescribed or authorized
by this subtitle. [Such] THE rules shall include rules
of practice before the agency together with forms and
instructions; [provided, however, that such rules shall
not be construed or implemented so as to] BUT NO ROLE OR
PRACTICE HAY interfere with the right of any lawyer to
practice before any agency, or [so as to] grant the right
to practice law to anyone not authorized [so] to do SO.

(b)   To assist interested persons dealing with it,
each agency shall so far as [is deemed] practicable
supplement its rules with descriptive statements of its
procedures.

(c)  Prior to the adoption of any rule authorized by
law, or [the] ITS amendment or repeal [thereof], the
adopting agency shall publish [or otherwise circulate]
notice of its intended action IN THE MARYLAND REGISTER,
and afford interested persons opportunity to submit data
or views orally or in writing. An agency may not adopt
or amend any rule or administrative act which increases
the agency's expenditures beyond budgetary limitations
without the express approval of the General Assembly; or
if the General Assembly is not then in session, without
the express approval in writing of the President of the
Senate and the speaker of the House of Delegates, acting
jointly and after consulting with and receiving the
advice in writing of the joint budget and audit
committee. Approval by the General Assembly or its
presiding officers, as [above] provided in this section,
is not required if the Governor by proclamation declares
that the rule or administrative act to increase an
agency's expenditures beyond budgetary limitations is
necessary and a matter of emergency. This limitation
