SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article 95 - Treasurer
6.
IN CASE OF A VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF THE TREASURER, THE
CHIEF DEPUTY TREASURER SHALL BE THE DEPUTY TREASURER QUALIFIED TO
ACT AS SUCCESSOR TO THE TREASURER UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE
VI, SECTION 1 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF MARYLAND.
7.
The Treasurer of Maryland shall appoint clerks, assistants
and other help in such numbers and at such salaries as may be
provided for by the budget of appropriations, all of whom shall
perform such duties as may be assigned to them from time to time
by the Treasurer. He may designate one of his clerks or
assistants as chief deputy treasurer, and [not exceeding four]
other clerks or assistants as deputy treasurers. The chief deputy
treasurer, each of the deputy treasurers, or any clerk, assistant
or any other employee of the office of the Treasurer, shall, upon
entering the performance of the duties of said office, be covered
by surety bonds in accordance with the provisions of §§ 46
through 50 of Article 78A of the Annotated Code of Maryland. The
chief deputy treasurer and each deputy treasurer, upon his
designation and qualification, as above provided, shall have the
power to disburse the moneys of the State for the purposes of the
State, according to law, including the power to sign or
countersign checks, upon warrants drawn by the Comptroller or his
duly authorized deputy. The chief deputy treasurer, and each
other deputy treasurer, shall take receipts for all moneys paid
from the treasury department; and receipt for moneys received by
him shall be endorsed upon warrants, signed by the Comptroller,
or such deputy as may be authorized to do so by law, without
which warrants so signed no acknowledgment of money received in
the treasury shall be valid. The exercise of the powers conferred
upon the chief deputy treasurer and each other deputy treasurer
by this section, shall be subject to all of the limitations
imposed by law upon the Treasurer in the performance of such
powers. The chief deputy treasurer and each other deputy
treasurer shall act as such only during the pleasure of the
Treasurer, and the power to act as such chief deputy treasurer or
deputy treasurer, may be terminated at any time by the Treasurer
for any cause which he may deem sufficient. In the event of
sickness or absence of the Treasurer, the power of the chief
deputy treasurer or any other deputy treasurer to act as such may
be terminated by the Board of Public Works or a majority of its
members for any cause which they may deem sufficient. The
