44 LAWS OF MARYLAND Ch. 13
this title. Subsection (a)(9) also is new
language that reflects the creation of this
Commission as a unit of the Department; see
Subtitle 2 of this title.
As to subsection (b) of this section, the
former Toll Facilities Division of the
Maryland Transportation Authority has been
administratively upgraded to Administrative
status as the "Toll Facilities Administration"
of the Department. Also, a "Division of
Transportation Safety" has been
administratively established in the
Department; see Subtitle 4 of this title and
Executive Order of the Governor, March 8,
1972, in the supplement to Code Volume 9A.
The term "unit" is used as the general
nomenclature for an organizational entity
because it has a broad and nondescript
connotation. Terms such as "agency" and
"office" are avoided due to their substantive
meanings. In this regard, see, also,
revisor's note to §2—102 of this subtitle.
The only other changes are in style.
Although the State Roads Commission is a
subsidiary unit of the State Highway
Administration — cf., present Art. 41,
§207F(b), now §8-210 of this article - it also
has certain independent powers and duties
vested in it by Article III, §40B of the State
Constitution; presumably, it is for this
reason that it is listed in this section as a
co-equal unit. See, also, §8—202 (b) of this
article, which specifies certain limits on the
authority of the State Highway Administrator
over the State Roads Commission.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:
In revising this subtitle, the Commission to Revise
the Annotated Code transferred present Art. 4 1, §208(o),
which deals with routes of transit facilities of the
Washington metropolitan Area Transit Authority, to Title
10, Subtitle 2 of this article dealing with that
Authority. It now appears as §10-206 of this article.
Present Art. 41, §208(j), which requires
administrators and certain others to "report directly" to
the Secretary, is deleted as unnecessary in light of
similar provisions appearing throughout this article.
See, e.g., §5—202(b), as to the State Aviation
Administrator.
