REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 40, §
61B(d).

The introductory language of subsection (a)(1) of this
section, "[i]n addition to the audit report under §
2-1219 of this subtitle," is added to clarify that
reports of violations are separate -- and in addition
to -- the usual audit report.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former,
specific reference to "applicable regulations" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the broad word
"law".
