284                                      LAWS OF MARYLAND                                Ch. 21

INTEREST OF A MINOR, THE ADMINISTRATION SHALL PROVIDE THE
SERVICES DESCRIBED IN THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
52A, § 5(b).

The term "minor", which is defined in Article 1,
§ 24 of the Code, is substituted for "persons
under the age of 18 years", for brevity.

The reference to "any other court in a proceeding
that involves the interest of a minor" is
substituted for "judges sitting in other equity
courts who are dealing with persons under the age
of 18 years", since there " appeared to be no
intent to limit service requests that concern
minors to equity courts. See, e.g., ET § 13-105.

The former reference to services described "in §§
57, 59, and 61 of Article 26 of this Code (1957
Edition, as amended)" is deleted as obsolete,
since those sections have been repealed.

Defined term: "Administration" § 6-101
