REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43B, §§ 5(b) and (c) and 18.

In subsections (a) and (b)(1)(ii) of this
section, the former references to spending
"within the amount made available by
appropriation" are deleted as unnecessary in
light of Article 15A, § 14 of the Code, which
prohibits expenditures in excess of
appropriations.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference

to "public or private agencies'" is substituted
for the reference to "other federal, State, local
and private agencies", for consistency with the
reference in subsection (b)(1)(i) of this
section.

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference "{w}ith the advice of the Council" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of § 9-305 of
this title and as incomplete in light of the
authority of the Secretary under § 9-203(a) of
this title and of the Director of Education and
Training under § 9-205 of this title.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the
former reference to "implement and administer
such programs" is deleted as unnecessary in light
of the word "conduct".

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the former
