AN INDUSTRIAL PROJECT THAT IS ACQUIRED BY A PUBLIC BODY
UNDER THIS SUBTITLE IS NOT A CAPITAL PROJECT OF THE PUBLIC
BODY, NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN ITS CHARTER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as the
fourth sentence of Art. 41, § 266W(a).

The term "public body" is substituted for
references to a "municipality or county". See
revisor's note to § 13-101(o) of this subtitle.

The only other changes are in style.

If, as appears to be the case, this section also
is intended to exclude an industrial project from
the applicability of the "Little Miller Act" —
RP § 9—113 — clarifying language here or in the
Real Property Article might be appropriate.

(2)       THE AUTHORITY APPROVES THE CONTRACTS FOR THE
ACQUISITION OR CONSTRUCTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 41, §
266W(d).

The term "public body" is substituted for
references to a "municipality or county". See
revisor's note to § 13-101(o) of this subtitle.

13-145. EXEMPTION FROM INCOME TAX.

IF A PUBLIC BODY PARTICIPATES AS BORROWER UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE, THE INTEREST PAYABLE UNDER THE MORTGAGE LOAN IS
EXEMPT FROM ALL INCOME TAXES IMPOSED BY THIS STATE OR ANY
POLITICAL SUBDIVISION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 41, §
266W(b).

In the first clause of this section, the term
"public body" is substituted for the reference to
a "county or municipality of this State". See
revisor's note to § 13-101(o) of this subtitle.

In the last clause of this section, the term
"political subdivision" is substituted for the
