REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43B, § 5(m).

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
words "devise" and "bequest" are deleted as
unnecessary in light of the definition of "gift"
in Article 1, § 22 of the Code.

As to approval of the Governor before acceptance,
see Article 15A, § 5 of the Code.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly,
that under former Article 43B, § 5(m) -- now
subsection (a) of this section — the
Administration is required to accept gifts or
grants. The General Assembly may wish to
consider whether this provision should be
discretionary.
