(a) In Prince George's County any action having a

Such legislative actions taken or passed by the County

proper filing of the petition, the legislative action shall not

of the voters voting thereon at the next regular election held in
the county, except that any legislative action adopted or passed
by a two-thirds vote of the commissioners shall remain in force,
notwithstanding the petition, but shall stand repealed 30 days
after having been rejected by a majority of the qualified
electors voting thereon.
(b) The board of supervisors of elections of Prince
George's County shall adopt rules and regulations specifying the
form of the referendum petition and the procedure for filing such
form and submission of petitioned legislative actions to the
