LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

(I)  AN INVESTIGATION BY AN INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AFFECTS THE UNIT;

(II)  THE ATTORNEY GENERAL REPRESENTS BOTH THE
INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE AND THE UNIT;

(III)  THE ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES THE BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS AND THE UNIT WRITTEN NOTICE THAT REPRESENTATION BY
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL INVOLVES OR REASONABLY MAY INVOLVE A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST; AND

(IV)  THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS APPROVES THE
EMPLOYMENT OF COUNSEL BY THE UNIT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 32A, § 5,
the third clause of § 12, and the first sentence and,
as it related to State entities, the third sentence of
§ 2.

In the introductory phrases of subsections (a) and (b)
of this section, the former, specific references to "§
12" are deleted as unnecessary in light of the broad
references to "law".

In subsection (a) of this section, the former words
"supervision and direction" are deleted as unnecessary
in light of the broad reference to "general charge".

The introductory language of subsection (c) of this
section, "[e]xcept as provided in subsection (d) of
this section or in any other law," is added to state
expressly that there are exceptions to the general
prohibition on employment of counsel and that the
exceptions are not limited to those set out in
subsection (d) of this section.

In subsection (c) of this section, the word "designee"
is substituted for the former list of possible
designees, for brevity.

Also in subsection (c) of this section, the former
prohibition against "continu[ing] the employment of
any ... legal adviser whatever" is deleted as
unnecessary.

Also in subsection (c) of this section, the former
limitations on employment of counsel "in connection
with ... or ... in the performance of any of the
duties imposed upon ... him" are deleted as misleading
since the former limitations suggested that employment
of counsel otherwise is permitted.
