notes, for consideration by the General Assembly,
that there is no quorum provision. In the
absence of an express provision,, rule, or
regulation, case law indicates that a majority of
the members is a quorum. See Gemeny v. Prince
George's County, 264 Md. 85 (1972); Zeiler v.
Central Ry., 84 Md. 304 (1896); and Heiskell v.
Mayor of Baltimore, 65 Md. 125 (1886).
