(e) The SERVICE MAY ADOPT A five-year plan [may be
adopted by the service] only after at least one public
hearing in each of the counties affected. At least 60
days [in advance of] BEFORE a hearing, the proposed
five-year plan shall be submitted FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT
to each county, and person against whom charges will be
levied if the plan is adopted, TO EACH MUNICIPALITY
[[HAVING]] WHICH OWNS OR OPERATES A PUBLIC FACILITY
AFFECTED BY THE PLAN, and to the Secretaries of Natural
Resources, State Planning, and Health and Mental Hygiene
[for review and comment]. A five—year plan can be
adopted by the service only after it is submitted to and
approved by resolution of the governing body of each
county [[OR MUNICIPALITY]] AND AFTER CONSULTATION WITH
THE GOVERNING BODY OF EACH MUNICIPALITY WHICH OWNS OR
OPERATES A PUBLIC FACILITY affected by the plan, or if
the plan is not approved by each of the appropriate
governing bodies within 120 days following submission of
the plan for approval of the governing bodies, after the
plan is approved by joint resolution of the General
Assembly. If a joint resolution of the General Assembly
approving a five—year plan contains any amendments or
modifications to the plan, those amendments and
modifications repeal the plan to the extent of any
inconsistency. The provisions of this subtitle do not
authorize the service to take any action which would be
inconsistent with the amendments or modifications without
the approval of the governing body of each county [[OR
MUNICIPALITY]] AND AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE GOVERNING
BODY OF EACH MUNICIPALITY WHICH OWNS OR OPERATES A PUBLIC
FACILITY included within the plan.
