Ch. 63 2006 LAWS OF MARYLAND
AN AUTHORITY SHALL CHOOSE A VICE CHAIR FROM AMONG ITS
COMMISSIONERS.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the first sentence and the first clause of the second sentence
of former Art. 44A, § 1-208(a).
In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a "chair" is substituted for
the former reference to "chairman" because SG § 2-1238 requires the use
of words that are neutral as to gender to the extent practicable. See
General Revisor's Note to Division II. Similarly, in subsection (b) of this
section, the reference to a "vice chair" is substituted for the former
reference to a "vice-chairman".
Defined terms: "Authority" § 12-101
"Chief elected official" § 12-101

AN AUTHORITY MAY- TAKE ACTION ON A VOTE OF A MAJORITY OF THE
COMMISSIONERS PRESENT AT A MEETING AT WHICH THERE IS A QUORUM, UNLESS A
LARGER NUMBER IS REQUIRED BY LAW OR THE BYLAWS OF THE AUTHORITY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 44A, § 1-209.
In subsection (a) of this section, the former phrase "from time to time" is
deleted as surplusage.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to the quorum "of the
