HARRY HUGHES, Governor

109

In subsection (d) of this section, the former
references to "rules" are deleted as included in the
references to "regulations" since it is the practice
of the Division of State Documents to use "rule" with
respect to judicial or legislative units and
"regulation" with respect to other units.

In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former words
"amend" and "repeal" are deleted as superfluous since
the amendment or repeal of a regulation is
accomplished through the adoption of a later
regulation.

The first and second sentences of former Art. 81, §
224A(b), which provided for the publication of
proposed regulations and for a hearing on proposed
regulations, are deleted as misleading and, in any
event, superfluous in light of the provisions of Title
10, Subtitle 1 of the State Government Article
"Administrative Procedure Act -- Regulations".

Defined terms: "Administrator" § 3-101
"Board" § 3-101 "County" § 1-101
