LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

Article 43, § 568N.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the

reference to "the Administrative Procedure Act"
is substituted for "§§ 255 and 256 of Article
41", for clarity.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former
references to an appeal "whether administrative
or judicial", "an administrative or judicial"
decision, and leave by an "agency" are deleted in
light of the apparent intent of Ch. 870, Acts of
1975. That Act deleted from the former law the
requirement that a decision by the Commission be
appealed first to the Board of Review of the
Department under Article 41, §§ 206A and 206B.
The retention of the former phrases, therefore,
was an apparent oversight in the drafting of Ch.
870, Acts of 1975, and was not intended to imply
any review by the Board of Review of the
Department. In practice, appeal has been to a
court and not to the Board of Review.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Commission" § 19-201
"Facility" § 19-201 "Person" § 1-101

19-222. TERMINATION OF SUBTITLE.

SUBJECT TO THE EVALUATION AND REESTABLISHMENT
PROVISIONS OF THE REGULATORY PROGRAMS EVALUATION ACT OF
1978, THIS SUBTITLE AND ALL RULES AND REGULATIONS ADOPTED
UNDER THIS SUBTITLE SHALL TERMINATE AND BE OF NO EFFECT
AFTER JULY 1, 1983.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, § 568Z.

The introductory clause of this section,
"{s}ubject to ... the Regulatory Programs
Evaluation Act of 1978," is new language added to
clarify that termination of this subtitle is
subject to evaluation and action by the General
Assembly under the referenced Act.

As to the Regulatory Programs Evaluation Act of
1978, see Article 41, § 484 et seq. of the Code.
