HARRY HUGHES, Governor

1271

(II) AT EACH REGULAR MEETING OF THE COMMISSION
OR MORE OFTEN AS IT DIRECTS, SHALL SUBMIT TO THE COMMISSION A
REPORT ON ANY ACTION THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS TAKEN SINCE ITS LAST
REPORT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 96 1/2, §
55(a), (h), and (k) through (m) and the second clause
of the first sentence of § 60.

Subsections (a) and (b) of this section are revised as
powers in light of the former word "necessary" and the
adjectives "necessary and proper". Similarly,
subsection (c)(1) of this section is revised as a
power since a delegation of authority necessarily
involves discretion.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to
a "committee of 1 or more of its members" is
substituted for the separate former references to "any
committees of their number" and "to any one or more of
the trustees", to clarify that 1 member is subject to
the limitations on a "committee" under subsection
(c)(2) of this section.

Defined term: "Home" § 9-917

(B)  STAFF.

(1)  THE VETERANS' HOME COMMISSION MAY APPOINT A

(2)   IN APPOINTING OR EMPLOYING STAFF, THE VETERANS'
HOME COMMISSION SHALL GIVE PREFERENCE TO A VETERAN WHO HAS AN
HONORABLE DISCHARGE FROM THE ARMED FORCES.

(3)  THE VETERANS' HOME COMMISSION SHALL SET THE
SALARY FOR EACH OFFICIAL OF THE HOME IN AN AMOUNT THAT DOES NOT
EXCEED THE SALARY PAID BY SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS FOR THE SERVICE.
