LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 311

in addition to " the date, nature of the
instrument...and the record reference
thereof." However, such a requirement, if
ever intended, would be meaningless in light
of the fact that neither a copy or summary of
the charter itself is required to be filed
with the Department in the first instance. Cf.
present Art. 23, §90 (e). (See, also, Ch. 292,
Acts of 1970, which amended both §90(e) and
(q) — in somewhat different ways, however — to
delete the requirements for filing certified
copies of charter documents.) This section,
therefore, is revised to conform to the
language in §90 (e), the probable intent of Ch.
292, Acts of 1970, and - as revised - the
current practice of the Department.

For the full meaning intended by the term
"charter," see §1—101 of this article.
