LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the reference
to the "purpose of the regulation" is substituted for
the former reference to a "regulatory intent", for
clarity.

Defined term: "Regulation" § 10-101

10-129. PUBLICATIONS OF NOTICES.

(A)   SCOPE OF SECTION.

THIS SECTION APPLIES ONLY TO A UNIT IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT.

(B)  REQUIRED.

WHENEVER A COURT OF FINAL APPEAL DECLARES ALL OR ANY PART OF
A REGULATION INVALID AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL:

(1)  THE UNIT THAT ADOPTED THE REGULATION SHALL HAVE
NOTICE OF THAT FACT PUBLISHED IN THE REGISTER; AND

(2)  THE ADMINISTRATOR SHALL PUBLISH NOTICE OF THAT
FACT IN THE PERMANENT SUPPLEMENTS OR OTHERWISE IN THE CODE OF
MARYLAND REGULATIONS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 41, §§
256B(c)(l) and 256-I(e).

Defined terms: "Administrator" § 10-101
"Register" § 10-101 "Regulation" § 10-101
"Unit" § 10-101

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Art. 41, § 245(c), which prohibited certain actions
with budgetary impact, now appears as Art. 15A, § 14A of the
Code.

The first sentence of former Art. 41, § 247 imposed on each
governmental unit and each quasi-governmental unit a duty to
compile, edit, publish, and index its regulations that affect the
general public. The second sentence of former § 247 required
that, "except for ... multicounty commissions appointed by local
governing bodies," each unit carry out its duty under former Art.
41, §§ 256B through 256T.

These former sentences, as they related to units of the
State government, are unnecessary in light of the provisions of
this subtitle. Similarly, the former, specific exception for
"multicounty commissions" is unnecessary in light of § 10-110 of
this subtitle.
