REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b)(2) through (c) of
this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 76A, § 5A(a), (b),
(d) through (g), and the second sentence of (c).

Subsection (b)(1) of this section is new language
substituted for the former reference to "[e]ach State
agency or instrumentality subject to the State
Documents Law", for clarity.

In the introductory clause of subsection (a) of this
section, the former words "and includes" are deleted
as surplusage, since it does not seem that the former
definition was meant to be illustrative.

In subsection (c) of this section, the clause "for
which inspection otherwise is not authorized" is
substituted for the former word "nondisclosable", for
clarity.

The first sentence of former Art. 76A, § 5A(c), which
referred to the submission of a report on personal
records to the Secretary of the Department of General
Services by July 1, 1983, is deleted as obsolete.

Defined terms: "Includes";"including" § 1-101
"Official custodian" § 10-611 "Person" § 1-101
"Person in interest" § 10-611
