Subsection (b)(4) of this section combines the second
clause of the second sentence of former Art. 40, § 60,
which referred ambiguously to the "several departments
... or other agencies", with § 60(9), which stated
specifically "State agencies", and is revised to refer
to a unit of "the State government".

In subsection (b)(4)(iii) of this section, the former,
specific reference to an appropriation request in "the
capital expense budget" is deleted as unnecessary in
light of the broad reference to "State financing of a
capital improvement".
