REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first
sentence of former Article 43, § 560B(a) and
(a)(1) and (5).

Former Article 43, § 560B(a)(2), which defined
"court" to specify courts in Baltimore City and
the circuit court for any other county, is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the
reorganization of the Baltimore City courts.

Former Article 43, § 560B(a)(3), which defined
"Director", is deleted as unnecessary since the
full title "Director on Aging" is used in Part V
of this subtitle.

Former Article 43, § 560B(a)(6), which defined
"Secretary", is deleted as unnecessary in light
of the definition of that term in § 1-101 of this
article.

Former Article 43, § 560B(a)(7), which defined
"transfer trauma", is deleted as unnecessary
since that phrase did not appear in former
Article 43, § 560B.

Defined term: "Related institution" § 19-301
