472 LAWS OF MARYLAND Ch. 13
ATTRACTION, IF THE SIGN CONFORMS TO NATIONAL STANDARDS
FOR SUCH SIGNS UNDER TITLE 23 OF THE UNITED STATES CODE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 89B,
§253.
In subsection (a) of this section, for clarity
and in conformity with the similar language in
§8-735 of this subtitle, the phrase "shall
acquire, by purchase, gift, or condemnation,
and remove" is substituted for the present
"shall be required to be removed".
In subsection (b) of this section, the
present, erroneous reference to "the herein
mentioned agreement" is corrected to refer to
"any related agreement between the
Administration and the federal government".
As to the removal of signs in violation of
this part, see, Part VI of this subtitle.
