LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 22

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as Art.
77, §51.

Subsection (a) of this section is new language
derived from the exception in present Art. 77,
§56D(a).

In subsection (b) of this section, the present
reference to the "Maryland Rules of Procedure" is
deleted as unnecessary since Title 12 of the Real
Property Article requires that the proceeding be
conducted under the Maryland Rules.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the
present reference to land required for "the site
of a school ... or playground" is deleted as
unnecessary since "any school purpose" clearly
would include the deleted purposes.
