LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

Coordinating Council; the State Commission on
Physical Fitness; and the State licensing boards
and commissions in the Health Occupations
Article.

Former Article 43, § lFe. , which provided for
transfers between the office of the Secretary,
the Department of Health, and the Department of
Mental Hygiene and policymaking for the operation
of the Departments, is deleted as unnecessary in
light of this subsection and as obsolete with
respect to the Commissioners of Health and of
Mental Hygiene. See the General Revisor's Note
to this article.

Defined terms: "Department" § 1-101
"Secretary" § 1-101

(I) FEDERAL FUNDS.

THE SECRETARY MAY APPLY FOR, RECEIVE, AND SPEND
GRANTS-IN-AID BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR ANY OF ITS
AGENCIES OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL FUNDS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE
DEPARTMENT FOR USE IN CARRYING OUT THE POWERS AND DUTIES OF
THE SECRETARY OR THE DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, § 13.

The words "apply for" are added to state a
formerly implicit requirement, since most, if not
all, programs require applications for
participation.

The defined term "Secretary" is substituted for
the obsolete reference to the former "State Board
of Health". See the General Revisor's Note to
this article.

The former limitation "duties confided ... by
this article" -- i.e., Article 43 — is deleted
as too narrow in light of the revision of parts
of Article 43 in the Health Occupations Article,
Health - Environmental Article, and this article.

The former provision that required the spending
of funds to be in accordance with law is deleted
as unnecessary since the Secretary is not
authorized to spend funds illegally. As to these
funds, see also Article 15A, §§ 6 and 7 of the
Code.
