Preamble

WHEREAS, The General Assembly of Maryland enacted
Senate Bill 976 during the 1980 Legislative Session
concerning the Safe Disposal of Hazardous Substances; and

WHEREAS, The bill as enacted contained certain
conflicts between the title and body; and

WHEREAS, The Attorney General in a letter dated May 16,
1980, stated that these title-body conflicts would prevent
certain provisions of this legislation from being given
effect; and

WHEREAS, This legislation was signed by the Governor
and enacted as Chapter 741 of the Acts of the General
Assembly of 1980; and

WHEREAS, There is no question that the intent of the
General Assembly in enacting this legislation was that the
provisions in question become law and be enforced under the
laws of Maryland; and

WHEREAS, To correct the title-body conflicts and
conform with the intent of the General Assembly in enacting
Senate Bill 976 of 1980, these provisions must be repealed
and reenacted, without amendments; now, therefore,
