former Art. 40, § 53B(a), as that subsection related
to administration of the Division.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first clause of
the second sentence of former Art. 40, § 53D.

without substantive change from former Art. 40, § 53C.

former reference to "administrative rules and
regulations", for clarity.
