(4) CHANGES THE ORGANIZATION OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, §
15CA.

In the introductory clause of this section, the word
"rescission" is substituted for the former word
"revocation", to standardize the references to
abrogation of an executive order.

Also in the introductory clause of   this section, the

former words "proclamation" and       "directive" are

deleted as unnecessary in light     of the broad word
"order".

Also in the introductory clause of this section, the
former word "modification" is deleted as unnecessary
in light of the synonym "amendment".

In item (4) of this section, the former references to
"law dealing with organization of the executive
branch", including the specific cross-references to
Md. Constitution, Art. II, § 24 and former Art. 41,
§§ 3A and 15C, are deleted. The statutory provisions
now appear in § 8-301(b) of this article.

As to the substitution of "unit" for references such
as "board," "commission," "committee", "departments",
and "agencies", see the General Revisor's Note to this
article.

Defined terms: "Includes";"including" § 1-101
"Person" § 1-101

3-402. FORM OF AMENDMENT.

SHOW EACH ADDITION OR DELETION IN THE MANNER SHOWN IN A BILL IN
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, §
15CD.

The reference to an "executive order that amends
another executive order" is substituted for the former
reference to an "amendment to an executive order", to
conform to § 3-401 of this subtitle, which defines an
amendment as an executive order.

Defined term: "Executive order" § 3-401
