BLAIR LEE III, Acting Governor

447

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from the first clause
of the first sentence of Art. 77, §135.

The term "any defect or infirmity" is substituted
for the phrase "defect or infirmity, whether
congenital or acquired by accident, injury, or
disease".

(C)   FEDERAL ACTS.

"FEDERAL ACTS" MEANS THE VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION ACTS
OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 77, §139(1).

In this subsection, the present list of specific
federal acts (e.g., "an act to provide for the
promotion of vocational rehabilitation of persons
disabled in industry or otherwise and their
return to civil employment") are deleted as
obsolete. Each of these acts has been repealed
or effectively superseded by subsequent federal
legislation. This conforms with the treatment of
similar lists in other articles. See, e.g.,
§8-501 of the Transportation Article.

Generally speaking, the current federal law on
federal aid for vocational rehabilitation is
codified in Title 20 of the United States Code.

(D)   VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION.

"VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION" MEANS THE PROCESS OF
ENABLING A DISABLED INDIVIDUAL TO BECOME GAINFULLY EMPLOYED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears as
the second clause of the first sentence of Art.
77, §135.

The only changes are in style.

21-302. ACCEPTANCE OF FEDERAL ACTS.

(A)   IN GENERAL.

THE STATE OF MARYLAND ASSENTS TO THE FEDERAL ACTS.

(B)   CUSTODIAN OF FUNDS.
THE STATE TREASURER SHALL:

(1)   BE THE CUSTODIAN OF ANY MONEY RECEIVED UNDER
THE FEDERAL ACTS; AND

(2)    DISBURSE THIS MONEY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
FEDERAL ACTS.
