REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b) of this section
are new language derived without substantive
change from the first and second sentences of
former Article 41, § 343(a).

Subsection (c) of this section formerly appeared
as the third sentence of Article 41, § 340(a).

Subsection (d) of this section formerly appeared
as Article 41, § 342(d).

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the phrase
"at the times and places that it determines" is

In subsection (c) of this section, the former

are adopted by the Department of Personnel with
the approval of the Board of Public Works.

In subsection (d) of this section, the former
reference to the types of staff and its purpose
is deleted as unnecessary.

The only other changes are in style.
