HARRY HUGHES, Governor                              2371

"GOVERNING BODY" INCLUDES ANY BODY OR BOARD THAT IS IN
CHARGE OF THE FINANCES OF A MUNICIPALITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as
Article 43, § 428(c).

The former phrase "by whatsoever name they may be
known" is deleted as unnecessary.

The only other changes aire in style.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly,
that the scope of the term "governing body" is
unclear. The definition in the former law sets
out the bodies that the term includes, but does
not state what the term means. The General
Assembly may wish to clarify what "governing
body" means and whether the term includes the
legislative or executive body of a municipality,
or only some other body in charge of the finances
of the municipality.

(D)  MUNICIPALITY.

"MUNICIPALITY" MEANS ANY MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THIS
STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without, substantive change from former Article
43, § 428(b).

The term "municipal corporation of this State" is
substituted for "city or town incorporated under
the laws of this State" for clarity and
conformity to terminology used elsewhere in the
Code.

As to municipal corporations generally, see
Article 23A of the Code.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly,
that the Commission interprets this definition to
exclude sanitary districts. The Commission
believes that no sanitary district has ever used
the Sanitary Facilities Bond Act of 1957. The
General Assembly, however, may wish to clarify
the definition in this respect.

(E)  RESOLUTION.

"RESOLUTION" MEANS ANY RESOLUTION OR ORDINANCE ADOPTED

BY ANY GOVERNING BODY.
