REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §
294(a)(15) and (16), (c), and the second and
third sentences of (d) and from Art. 43, §
294(f).

In subsection (a) of this section, the present
provision calling for a quorum of "{s}ix
members of the Board" is restated, without
substantive change, in more general language that
refers to "a majority of the full authorized
membership" of the Board. This language conforms
to similar provisions in other titles of this
article and will accommodate possible future
legislative changes in the number of members to
be appointed to the Board, without the necessity
of enacting a conforming change here. As to the
current "full authorized membership" of the
Board, see § 7-202(a)(l) of this subtitle.

In the introductory paragraph of subsection (d)
of this section, "may" is substituted for the
phrase "shall have the powers and duties" to
clarify the discretion of the Board.

As to subsection (c) of this section, Standard
State Travel Regulations are adopted by the
