REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 1A, §8-801(b)(3).
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, new
language is added to state expressly the
authority of the joint board to exercise any
delegated powers otherwise granted by this
subtitle to a "political subdivision" or "the
legislative body of" a political subdivision.
This language permits the deletion in this
subtitle of repeated, awkward references to
"the legislative body of the political
subdivision, or the joint board provided for
in...."
Subsection (b) (2) is revised to clarify that
the chairman is an "additional" member rather
than a chairman elected from among the
appointed members.
