REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, § 48 and the second and third clauses of §
45.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase
"imposed by law" is substituted for the reference
to "as provided in this article" to reflect that
there are other provisions of law that relate to
county boards of health and to cover certain
provisions of Article 43 that are revised in the
Health - Environmental Article.
