LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

2 OF THIS TITLE APPLIES TO A RECIPIENT OF SERVICES UNDER THE

retarded individuals under Title 7 of this

former Article 59A, § 24(b), which incorporated
by reference the various provisions of former
Article 43, § 601 that now appear in Subtitle 2
of this title. In light of this section and the
revision of Subtitle 2 of this title, the former
specific references in Article 59A, § 24(b) are

appearing in Title 7 of this article, see §
