THIS SUBSECTION IS INTENDED TO VEST CONTROL OVER PLANNING
PROCEDURES IN THE RESPECTIVE DISTRICT COUNCILS, TO THE
EXTENT THAT CONTROL IS NOT INCONSISTENT WITH OTHER
PROVISIONS OF THE REGIONAL DISTRICT ACT, AND NOTHING
CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO AUTHORIZE ANY TRANSFER
OR DILUTION OF PLANNING AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY NOW
VESTED IN THE COMMISSION PLANNING BOARDS, AND DISTRICT
COUNCIL.

[(3)] (4) Adoption. The adoption or amendment
of any plan shall be by resolution of the Commission carried
by the affirmative votes of not less than six members of the
Commission, of whom not less than three members shall be
from Montgomery County and not less than three members from
Prince George's County. However, for the adoption or
amendment of a local master plan or a functional master plan
which lies entirely within one county the affirmative votes
of three members from that county shall prevail and be
sufficient to adopt the plan. The resolution on the
adoption or amendment of the plan shall refer expressly to
the maps and descriptive and other matter intended by the
Commission to form the whole or part of the plan, and the
action taken shall be recorded on the map, plan, or
descriptive matter by the identifying signature of the
chairman and secretary—treasurer of the Commission.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act
shall take effect July 1, 1979.

Approved May 29, 1979.
