The first sentence of former Art. 41, § 256D, which

is deleted in light of the specific requirements of
this section and, as to executive orders, § 3-405(b)
of this article.

Defined terms: "Administrator" § 7-201
"Code of Maryland Regulations" § 7-201
"Register" § 7-201

7-214. NOTICES.

(A)  EFFECT ON OTHER REQUIREMENTS.

THIS SUBTITLE DOES NOT AFFECT ANY OTHER REQUIREMENT AS TO
NOTICE, INCLUDING A TIME THAT IS SPECIFICALLY SET FOR THE
PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE.

(B)  TIME FOR SUBMISSION.

(1)  A UNIT SHALL SUBMIT A NOTICE THAT SETS A DATE FOR
A HEARING OR MEETING OR FOR THE TERMINATION OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE HEARD IN TIME FOR PUBLICATION IN AN ISSUE OF THE REGISTER THAT
WILL BE PUBLISHED:

(I)  ON OR BEFORE THE DATE SET BY LAW FOR
PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE; OR

(II)  IF THE DATE FOR PUBLICATION IS NOT SET BY
LAW, AT LEAST 15 DAYS BEFORE THE DATE FOR THE HEARING OR MEETING
OR FOR THE TERMINATION OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.

(2)  AS TO A NOTICE THAT PARAGRAPH (1)(II) OF THIS
SUBSECTION GOVERNS, PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE LESS THAN 15 DAYS
BEFORE THE DATE FOR A HEARING OR MEETING OR THE TERMINATION OF
THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD DOES NOT PREJUDICE THE EFFECTIVENESS
OF THE NOTICE, IF NOTICE OF LESS THAN 15 DAYS IS REASONABLE.

(3)  UNLESS NOTICE BY PUBLICATION IS INSUFFICIENT IN
LAW, A NOTICE THAT SETS A DATE FOR A HEARING OR MEETING OR FOR
THE TERMINATION OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD AND THAT IS
SUBMITTED AS REQUIRED BY THIS SUBSECTION CONSTITUTES, ON
PUBLICATION, NOTICE TO:

(I)  EACH PERSON WHO RESIDES IN THE STATE; OR

(II)  EACH PERSON WHO HOLDS AN INTEREST IN
PROPERTY IN THE STATE.

(C)  REQUIREMENTS FOR FULL COMPLIANCE.

PUBLICATION OF A NOTICE AS REQUIRED BY THIS SUBTITLE AND AS
REQUIRED BY ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE CODE ARE BOTH NECESSARY TO
CONSTITUTE FULL COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.
