IF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY ADOPTS A JOINT RESOLUTION THAT ASKS

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, § 46B.

In subsection (a) of this section, reference to a
"unit of the Executive Branch of the State government"
is substituted for the former reference to "any
executive agency", to clarify that this provision
applies only to a State unit and to conform to other
references to units in the Executive Branch. As to
the word "unit", see the General Revisor's Note to
this article.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, reference to
the "Legislative Policy Committee" is substituted for
the former, obsolete reference to the "Legislative
Council".

In subsection (b) of this section, the words "on or
before" are substituted for the former word "by", for
clarity.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Art. 76, § 7, which required affidavits as to
publication of law as required under Md. Constitution, Art. III,
§ 54, is deleted as obsolete. Ch. 71, Acts of 1960, which was
ratified on November 8, 1960, amended the referenced Art. III, §
54 to eliminate the publication requirement.
