1334                                         LAWS OF MARYLAND                                     Ch. 284

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 76A, §
8(g), as it related to the State.

The words "unit of the State government" are
substituted for the former word "entity", to exclude
public bodies of local governments, which now are
governed by Art. 24, §§ 4-101 through 4-110 of the
Code, and, thus, to avoid encompassing, under both
this subtitle and Art. 24, an entity that, e.g., is
created by State law, but is a unit of a local
government.

(H) QUASI-JUDICIAL FUNCTION.

"QUASI-JUDICIAL FUNCTION" MEANS A DETERMINATION OF:

(1)  A CONTESTED CASE TO WHICH SUBTITLE 2 OF THIS
TITLE APPLIES; OR

(2)  A PROCEEDING BEFORE AN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY FOR
WHICH CHAPTER 1100, SUBTITLE B OF THE MARYLAND RULES WOULD GOVERN
JUDICIAL REVIEW.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 76A, §
8(h).

In item (2) of this subsection, a reference to "a
proceeding before an administrative agency" is added
for clarity since the referenced Md. Rules do not
refer to "a contested case".

(I) QUASI-LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION.

"QUASI-LEGISLATIVE FUNCTION" MEANS THE PROCESS OR ACT OF:

(1)  ADOPTING, DISAPPROVING, AMENDING, OR REPEALING A
RULE, REGULATION, OR BYLAW THAT HAS THE FORCE OF LAW, INCLUDING A

(3)  APPROVING, DISAPPROVING, OR AMENDING A CONTRACT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
