covered under item (5) of this section, but, in fact,
§ 5-122 of this subtitle relates to all records.

In the introductory clause of this section, the
reference to "this Part II of this subtitle" is
substituted for the former limited reference "[t]his
section" -- i.e., former Art. 54, § 8. Although the
substituted language encompasses present Art. 54, § 7
and former Art. 54, §§ 9 and 11(a), these provisions
were interconnected by cross-references.

In item (3) of this section, the former, specific
references to "books" and "accounts" are deleted as
unnecessary in light of the broad word "record".
Similarly in item (4) of this section, the word
"record" is substituted for the former enumeration
"papers, books, documents, or files".

Also in item (3) of this section, the former, specific
references to the "clerks of courts" and "registers of
wills" are deleted as unnecessary in light of the
referenced § 2-1215 of the State Government Article.

Also in item (3) of this section, the former reference
to the defunct position of "State Auditor" is deleted
as unnecessary in light of the referenced §§ 2-1215
through 2-1222 of the State Government Article.

In item (6)(i) of this section, the reference to "§
l-605(d)(6)" is substituted for the former, incorrect
cross-reference "§ 1-605(d-3)".

In item (6)(ii) of this section, the former limitation
"have been made" is deleted as unnecessary in light of
the requirement "is in use".
