LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

In subsection (f)(1) of this section, the former words
"at least" are deleted so that there is a finite
statutory time for retention, after expiration of
which time, the Department may dispose of the copies.

The third sentence of former Art. 40, § 63, which
stated that a fiscal note is required for bills that
affect State expenditures and revenues, and the second
sentence of § 65, which required preparation of a
waiver if a bill has no fiscal impact, are deleted to
conform to the practice to prepare a fiscal note for
each bill. Therefore, former Art. 40, § 69, which
required substitution of a fiscal note for the waiver
of a note on a bill that is amended to have an impact,
is deleted as unnecessary.

Defined terms: "Bill" § 2-1501
"House" § 2-101 "President" § 2-101
"Senate" § 2-101 "Speaker" § 2-101
"Standing committee" § 2-101

RETURN TO ORIGINATING HOUSE.

WHEN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY PASSES A BILL, IT SHALL BE
RETURNED TO THE HOUSE OF ORIGIN.

return of bills.

The definition of "bill" in § 2-1501 of this subtitle,
which applies to this section, clarifies that joint
resolutions are returned as bills under this section.
