SECTION 9. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That immediately
following the close of each fiscal year, the Secretary of
the Budget and Fiscal Planning shall determine the total
number of State positions that are authorized as of the last
day of the fiscal year. Authorized positions shall include
all budget positions as shown in the personnel detail of the
annual budget for the ensuing fiscal year including
non—budgeted programs, the Mass Transit Administration, the
University of Maryland self—supported activities, and the
State—Use Industries. The Board of Public Works, in
exercising its authority to create additional positions
pursuant to Sec. 16B of Article 78A, may authorize, during
any fiscal year, up to five hundred (500) positions in
excess of the total number of authorized State positions as
determined by the secretary of Budget and Fiscal Planning on
the last day of any fiscal year. Provided, however, that if
the imposition of this ceiling causes undue hardship in any
particular department, agency, board, or commission, the
Board of Public Works may authorize additional positions for
such department, agency, board, or commission, upon the
elimination of an equal number of authorized positions in
another department, agency, board or commission, and said
action shall be exempt from the aforementioned ceiling of
five hundred (500). And that the aforementioned ceiling of
five hundred (500) does not apply with respect to any
positions created by the Board of Public Works during fiscal
year 1976 which are fully funded by the federal government
under The Federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of
1974, The Federal Emergency Jobs and Unemployment Assistance
Act of 1974, and any other federal man—power statutes; and
any fully federally funded positions for which the State
receives federal funds in connection with programs
administered by the Employment Security Administration of
the Department of Employment and Social Services.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section the Board
of Public Works may authorize additional temporary positions
to meet public emergencies resulting from an act of God and
violent acts of men which are necessary to protect the
health and safety of the people of Maryland.
