REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
59, § 64(a) and the second sentence of (c).

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the former
reference to holding the hearing "to assure that
the home will be accepted in the community" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of §. 10-515 of
this subtitle.

In subsection (c)(2)(ii) of this section,   the

reference to the "license ... sought"       is

substituted for "program ... proposed",     for
clarity.
