REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43B, § 3(e) and the third sentence of (c).

In subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, the
former description of the State comprehensive
drug abuse control plan is deleted as unnecessary
in light of § 9-204(c)(3) of this title, which
describes the State plan in detail. This
deletion avoids possible discrepancies between
the 2 descriptions of the State plan, which might
result from amending 1 provision without amending
the other. In this regard, note the references
to "drug addiction" and "drug addicts" in former
Article 43B, § 3(e)(1) and the broader references
to "drug abuse" and "drug abusers" in former
Article 43B, § 5(a).

Also in subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, the
