REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, §
256-I(c)(2) and the first sentence of § 15CE(a).

In subsection (a) of this section, the clause "after
the Governor delivers an executive order" is
substituted for the former reference to "following the
receipt of each executive order issued ... under ... §
15CC(a)," since the referenced former provision
provided for delivery, rather than issuance. See §
3-404 of this subtitle.
