REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 78A,
§ 15(h).

In subsection (b) of this section, the words "unit of
the State government" are substituted for the former
reference to a "State agency" to conform to language
used elsewhere in this article.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former
reference to the goal being achieved "after July 1,
1982" is deleted as obsolete.

The only other changes are in style.
