HARRY HUGHES, Governor

1473

(3) IS CREATED BY:

(I)  THE MARYLAND CONSTITUTION;

(II)  A STATE STATUTE;

(III)  A COUNTY CHARTER;

(IV)  AN ORDINANCE;

(V)  A RULE, RESOLUTION, OR BYLAW; OR

(VI)  AN EXECUTIVE ORDER OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
AUTHORITY OF A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE.

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

Item (1) of this subsection is added to ensure that
either this subtitle or SG §§ 10-501 through 10-510,
but not both, encompass 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 TITLE 10, SUBTITLE 2 OF
THE STATE GOVERNMENT ARTICLE 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
RULE OF A COURT;

(2) APPROVING, DISAPPROVING, OR AMENDING A BUDGET; OR
