REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 43, § 623
and from the first through sixth sentences of §
624 — except for the reference in the first
sentence of that section to the annual election
of officers, which now appears in § 16-203(a) of
this subtitle.

In subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the
phrase "then serving on the Board" is added for
clarity.
