Also in subsection (a)(4) of this section, the
reference to reimbursement for expenses "under the
Standard State Travel Regulations, as provided in the
State budget" is substituted for the former reference
to "all traveling and other expenses connected with
the duties of the Department." This substitution
clarifies the applicable standards for reimbursement
and reflects practice.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the phrase "or
as otherwise provided by law" is added as a general
reference to provisions for reimbursement of counsel
fees under Title 12, Subtitle 4 of this article.

In subsection (e)(1) of this section, the language "to
the extent permitted by law" is added as a general
reference to the limitations on the practice of law by
an individual who is not a lawyer.

Also in subsection (e)(1) of this section, the former
reference to "his discretion" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the discretionary word "may".
