LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

approval requirement relates only to eligibility
for funding.

Therefore, subsection (a) of this section
contains only the provisions of former Article
52A, § 20(a)(1) and (3), which were broad
provisions on the general objectives of youth
services bureaus. Former Article 52A, §
20(a)(2), (4), and (5), which stated services to
be provided, appeared to be requirements for
funding and are revised as such in subsection
(b)(2) of this section. This reorganization is
based on the eligibility rules and regulations
adopted by the Administration. See COMAR
10.25.05.05.

Similarly, in subsection (c) of this section, the
reference to approval or disapproval of an
"application for State funding of a youth
services bureau or proposed youth services
bureau" is substituted for the reference to
"approve/disapprove any new youth services bureau
not in existence on January 1, 1976." This
substitution also clarifies that the provision
would apply to an existing youth services bureau
that had not received State funds previously.

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to being based in a community
"experiencing juvenile crime" is deleted as an
unnecessary distinction.

Subsection (b)(2) of this section is revised to
clarify that all services must be provided "at
convenient hours" and not just to those services
enumerated in former Article 52A, § 20(a)(5).
This revision also is based on the rules and
regulations of the Administration.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, reference
to submission of a "proposed" budget is added to
conform to the provision that the budget is
submitted for "review and approval".

Similarly, in subsection (d)(3) of this section,
the word "proposed" is added to reflect that the
Governor has final authority as to the budget
bill submitted to the General Assembly.
