REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new Language derived
without substantive change from former Article 88A, §
59(e).

In subsections (b)(2) and (d)(2) of this section, the
defined term "Administration" is substituted for the
former term "bureau" in light of Article 88A, § lA(a)
and Ch. 61, Acts of 1983.

In subsection (d)(2)(i) of this section, the phrase
"accuracy of the reported arrearage" is substituted
for the former phrase "correctness of the
certification", for clarity.

In subsection (d)(2)(ii) of this section, the phrase
"amount of the reported arrearage" is new language
added for clarity.

In subsection (g)(1) of this section, the introductory
clause "On receipt of notice of intercept from the
State Comptroller" is new language added for clarity.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code calls the
attention of the General Assembly to the fact that
this section makes no provision for an appeal to the
courts from a final decision of the Administration.
However, the Secretary of Human Resources has provided
a right of appeal by regulation. See COMAR
07.07.02.05.D.
