LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

Also in subsection (b)(2) of this section, the phrase
"serves without a fixed term" is substituted for the
former word "indefinitely", to standardize the
references to tenure. This substitution is based on
the most recent enactment as to tenure, in former Art.
40, § 58(c) -- now § 2-1205(b) of this subtitle --
which was enacted by Ch. 818, Acts of 1982.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to
being "licensed as a certified public accountant" is
substituted for the former reference to holding a
"valid and unrevoked certificate to practice as a
certified public accountant", for brevity.

The introductory phrase of subsection (c)(3) of this
section, "while in office," is substituted for the
former language "before entering upon the duties of
his office," to clarify that the Legislative Auditor
must have coverage throughout the time in office.

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the language "in
the form and amount required by law" is substituted
for the former, incomplete reference to Art. 78A, §§
46 through 50 of the Code. See also Art. 95, § 31 and
Art. 78A, § 10 of the Code.

Defined terms: "Director" § 2-1201
"President" § 2-101 "Speaker" § 2-101

AS A CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT IN THE STATE.

AUDITOR; AND

(II)  MAY BE DESIGNATED BY THE DIRECTOR TO ACT
AS LEGISLATIVE AUDITOR IF THE OFFICE IS VACANT OR THE LEGISLATIVE
AUDITOR IS UNABLE TO PERFORM THE DUTIES OF OFFICE.

without substantive change from the first through
fourth sentences of former Art. 40, § 61A(c) and, as
