REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the fifth through
seventh sentences and the last clause of the
fourth sentence of former Article 43, § 646, the
second through fourth sentences and the last
clause of the first sentence of § 647(4), and the
sixth through eighth sentences and the last
clause of the fifth sentence of § 648.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
suggests that the General Assembly may wish to
add to this subtitle a requirement that copies of
corporate documents be filed among the land
records of each member county. Presently, the
only place where these documents may be examined
is at the State Department of Assessments and
Taxation. That department keeps the corporate
documents described in this section the same way
it keeps corporate documents generally -- indexed
by name of the corporation.
