(B)   POWERS.

(1)   A MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE OFFICER HAS
THE POWERS GRANTED TO A PEACE AND POLICE OFFICER.

(2)   HOWEVER, A MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE
OFFICER MAY EXERCISE THESE POWERS ONLY ON PROPERTY THAT IS
OWNED, LEASED, OPERATED BY, OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF MORGAN
STATE UNIVERSITY. THE POLICE OFFICER MAY NOT EXERCISE THESE
POWERS ON ANY OTHER PROPERTY UNLESS:

(I)    ENGAGED IN FRESH PURSUIT OF A SUSPECTED
OFFENDER;

(II)   NECESSARY TO FACILITATE THE ORDERLY FLOW
OF TRAFFIC TO AND FROM PROPERTY OWNED, LEASED, OPERATED BY,
OR UNDER THE CONTROL OF MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY; OR

(III)   ORDERED TO DO SO BY THE GOVERNOR.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 77A, §82A(a)
and (b).

In paragraph (2) of this subsection, the term
"fresh pursuit" is substituted for "hot pursuit"
to conform to the terminology now generally used
in the criminal laws of this State: see, e.g.,
Art. 27, §§ 595 through 602AC of the Code.

(C)   STANDARDS AND QUALIFICATIONS TO BE ADOPTED BY
BOARD.

(1)    IN CONSULTATION WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE MARYLAND STATE POLICE AND THE MARYLAND POLICE TRAINING
COMMISSION, THE BOARD OF REGENTS SHALL ADOPT STANDARDS,
QUALIFICATIONS, AND PREREQUISITES OF CHARACTER, TRAINING,
EDUCATION, HUMAN AND PUBLIC RELATIONS, AND EXPERIENCE FOR
MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE OFFICERS, INCLUDING STANDARDS
FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR DUTIES.

(2)   TO THE EXTENT PRACTICABLE, THE BOARD SHALL
ADOPT STANDARDS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THE STANDARDS ADOPTED
FOR THE MARYLAND STATE POLICE.

(3)   STANDARDS ADOPTED ON OR AFTER JULY 1, 1976,
ON MINIMUM HIRING QUALIFICATIONS OF MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
POLICE OFFICERS MAY NOT AFFECT THE STATUS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL
WHO WAS A QUALIFIED MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE OFFICER
ON THAT DATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears as
the first three sentences of Art. 77A, §82A(c).

In paragraph (2) of this subsection, the term
"similar to" is substituted for the somewhat
nonsequential "consistent with".
