LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 19, §
8B(a) through (c) and the first sentence of (d).

In subsections (c) and (d) of this section, the
requirement that "the acting comptroller shall serve"
is substituted for the former, specific references to
the "chief deputy comptroller", to reflect that, under
subsection (b) of this section, another individual may
serve.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the words "in
the notice" are added for clarity.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, specific
reference to "the Board ... and the acting
comptroller" is added for clarity. This addition is
based on the second sentence of former Art. 19, §
8B(d), which required notice "be given to all
parties". Similarly, in subsection (d)(2) of this
section, the specific reference to the "Comptroller
and the acting comptroller" is added. Therefore, the
second sentence of former Art. 19, § 8B(d) is deleted
as unnecessary.

Generally, the General Assembly  is unable to confer

original jurisdiction on the Court    of Appeals. The

purported authority for subsection   (e) of this section
is Md. Constitution, Art. XV, § 5.

4-106. AUTHORITY OVER UNITS.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

SUBJECT TO THE LIMITATION IN SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION,
THE COMPTROLLER MAY TRANSFER ANY STAFF, FUNDS, OR EQUIPMENT FROM
ANY UNIT IN THE OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER TO ANOTHER UNIT IN THE
OFFICE.

(B)  EFFECT ON STAFF.

THE CLASS AND GRADE OF STAFF WHO ARE TRANSFERRED MAY NOT BE
REDUCED BY REASON OF THE TRANSFER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 19, § 8A.

The former reference to "increasing the efficiency ...
of his administration" is deleted as surplusage.

As to the substitution of "unit" for the former words
"office", "division", and "bureau", see the General
Revisor's Note to this article.
