LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

In item (1) of this section, the reference to a change
in "name" is added to reflect the references in former
Art. 41, § 3A(b) and the first sentence of § 15CB. As
to the deletion of §§ 3A(b) and 15CB, see revisor's
note to § 8-301 of this subtitle.

As to present Art. 41, § 3A(a), see the General
Revisor's Note to Subtitle 2 of this title.

8-303. RESTRICTIONS ON NAME CHANGES.

IF THE NAME OF A UNIT IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE STATE
GOVERNMENT IS SET BY STATUTE, THE NAME MAY BE CHANGED ONLY BY
ANOTHER STATUTE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, §
188B.

The reference to the "Executive Branch" is substituted
for the former reference to the "Executive
Department", since the former reference to "any office
... within a department ... or other division of the
Executive Department" indicated that the entire Branch
was to be encompassed.

The word "statute" is substituted for the former
references to a "law enacted by the General Assembly",
for brevity.

The former words that imposed this restriction on an
"officer, employee, or agency of the Executive
Department" are deleted as too narrow in light of the
specific reference to a statute.

8-304. DESIGNATION FOR FEDERAL PROGRAMS.

THE GOVERNOR SHALL:

(1)  MAKE THE DESIGNATION  OF A UNIT AS THE OFFICIAL
STATE AGENCY FOR PARTICIPATION IN A   FEDERAL PROGRAM BY A WRITTEN
DESIGNATION THAT INCLUDES THE NAME OF THE UNIT AND OF THE
PROGRAM;

(2)  GIVE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY NOTICE OF THE
DESIGNATION; AND

(3)  DELIVER A COPY OF THE DESIGNATION TO THE
ADMINISTRATOR OF THE DIVISION OF STATE DOCUMENTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, §
15C(b), except for the last phrase of the first
sentence of that subsection.
