LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

"Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions" is a
designation that is used, in practice, to denote
collectively the Johns Hopkins Hospital and 2
schools of the separate corporate entity, the
Johns Hopkins University.

In subsection (a)(3)(iii)2. of this section, the
phrase "at any time before the Governor makes the
appointment" is substituted for the imprecise
phrase "three months prior to the date for making
appointments". As to these vacancies, there is
no set date for appointment. Rather, compliance
with a reasonable request of the Governor is the
time limitation imposed on the organization. See
also subsection (c)(6) of this section.

In subsection (a)(4)(i) of this section, the
reference "State Health Planning and Development
Agency" is substituted for the obsolete reference
to the "statewide comprehensive health planning
agency".

Throughout subsection (c) of this section,
"voting" is added to clarify that the "nonvoting"
members are not subject to the tenure provisions
of this subsection.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, reference
to terms of the members serving on July 1, 1982
is substituted for the obsolete reference to the

terms of the initial members.

Subsection (c)(5) of this section is revised in
standard language used to state a limitation on
successive terms. Thus, the word "full" is added
to modify the reference to "4-year terms". This
addition resolves any ambiguity that a member
appointed under subsection (c)(4) of this section
to serve the remainder of a vacant term might be
limited to that term and then only 1 full term.
Under this revision, a member who is appointed to
the remainder of the term is eligible for
reappointment to 2 additional full terms.

Also, the phrase "may not be reappointed for 4
years after completion of those terms" is
substituted for the prohibition "{n}o member
shall be appointed to". This revision clarifies
that the prohibition addresses a 4-year period
and does not prohibit appointment after that
period. This substitution is patterned after the
limitation on successive terms for members of
county advisory councils on alcoholism, in §
8-313 of this article.
