REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, §
606(b), (c), and the fourth sentence of (d) and
Art. 43, § 606(f).

Subsection (b) of this section is standard
language added to this and, where necessary,
corresponding sections of other titles of this
article, for clarity.

In subsection (a) of this section, the present
provision calling for a quorum to do business of
"four members" 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 §
13-202(a)(l) of this subtitle.

As to subsection (c) of this section, Standard
State Travel Regulations are adopted by the
Department of Personnel with the approval of the
Board of Public Works.
