LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 11

(II) CONSIDER BILLS THAT AUTHORIZE STATE DEBT
IN ADDITION TO THE BILLS THAT ACCOMPANY THE CONSOLIDATED LOAN
BUDGET.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 31, §
28(1) through (3) and the third sentence of § 25(b).

In subsection (b)(1)(i) and (2)(ii) of this section,
respectively, the references to "any accompanying
bill" and to "the bills" are substituted for the
former references to "the accompanying bill" and
"bill", to conform to § 8-114(b)(2) of this subtitle,
which enables the Governor to submit "1 or more
bills".

In subsection (b)(l)(i) of this section, the phrase
"after its submission to the General Assembly", which
formerly modified the word "bill", is deleted as
surplusage since, before submission, changes may be
made without the use of amendments.

In subsection (b)(1)(ii) of this section, the former
clause "if he deems it advisable" is deleted as
surplusage.

Subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section is revised to
state affirmatively that this Part II of this subtitle
does not affect State debt analysis by the General
Assembly. Although the first clause of the third
sentence of former Art. 31, § 25(b) stated that this
Part II of this subtitle is "not intended to
interfere" with the analysis, the second clause of
that former sentence -- "which the General Assembly
will continue to make" -- seemed more than a statement
of intent.

Defined term: "State debt" § 8-101

8-108. COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED.

THERE IS A CAPITAL DEBT AFFORDABILITY COMMITTEE IN THE
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first sentence of
former Art. 31, § 26(a).

It is set forth as a separate section for emphasis.

8-109. MEMBERSHIP OF COMMITTEE.

THE COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF THE FOLLOWING 5 MEMBERS:
