HARRY HUGHES, Governor                                         1265

(A)   IN GENERAL.

THE PURPOSES OF THE MARYLAND VETERANS' HOME COMMISSION ARE
TO OPERATE AND TO MANAGE IN THE STATE A HOME FOR VETERANS.

(B)  LEGISLATIVE POLICY.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY DECLARES THE PURPOSES OF THE MARYLAND
VETERANS' HOME COMMISSION TO BE OF GENERAL BENEFIT TO THE
VETERANS OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first sentence of
former Art. 96 1/2, § 52 and the provisions of the
first sentence of § 51A that related to operation and
management of the Home.

The provisions of the first sentence of former Art. 96
1/2, § 51A that made acquisition of a site for the
Home and establishment of the Home purposes of the
Veterans' Home Commission are deleted as obsolete,
since these purposes have been accomplished.

The second sentence of former Art. 96 1/2, § 52, which
referred to the perpetual existence of the Veterans'
Home Commission subject to modification or termination
by the General Assembly, is deleted as unnecessary
since, as with other statutory units, the Commission
would continue to exist and to carry out its functions
until a termination date, if any, and would be subject
to modification by the General Assembly.

Defined term: "Veteran" § 9-901

62.
