REVISOR'S NOTE:. This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 81, §
32A(a).

In subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the phrase
"assessments of property" is substituted for the
former phrase "assessable property", for clarity.

Also in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the
references that a county shall "impose" a tax and
"set" a rate are substituted for the former references
that a county shall "levy" a tax and "establish" a
rate, for clarity and consistency. As to the
substitution of "impose" for "levy", see the General
Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in subsections (b) and (c) of this section,, the
words "one or more", which formerly modified
"municipal corporation", are deleted as superfluous.
Similarly, in subsections (b) and (c) of this section
the word "governmental", which formerly modified
"services", is deleted as superfluous.

In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "the
county property tax rate to be set for assessments of
property in the municipal corporation" is added for
clarity.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the defined

term "governing body" is substituted for the former

terms "board of county commissioners" and "county
council" for clarity.

Similarly, in subsection (b) of this section, the
phrase "governing body of any municipal corporation"
is substituted for the former phrase "municipal
officials", for clarity.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the reference
to the rate for "parts of the county outside the
municipal corporation" is substituted for the former
reference to the "general county property tax" rate,
for clarity.

In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this
section, the defined term "governing body" is added to
modify "county", for clarity and consistency.
