Article 32B - Delmarva Advisory Council

1-111.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Delmarva
Advisory Council shall receive annual funding by appropriation in
the Maryland State budget. Maryland's State allocation shall be

of the participating Maryland counties to contribute an equal
share to the financial support included in the State's budget.
For purposes of review, approval, and confirmation that the
counties' commitments are met, the Department of Economic and
Community Development is Maryland's "cognizant State agency" and
shall include a budget request for the Delmarva Advisory Council
with its budget request. In addition, receipt of any funds from
Maryland is contingent upon the annual receipt of funds from the
states of Delaware or Virginia.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act may not
take effect until a similar Act is passed by the State of
Delaware and the Commonwealth of Virginia; that the State of
Delaware and the Commonwealth of Virginia are requested to concur
in this Act of the General Assembly of Maryland by the passage of
a similar Act; that the Department of Legislative Reference shall
notify the appropriate officials of the State of Delaware and the
Commonwealth of Virginia of the passage of this Act; and that
upon the concurrence of this Act by the State of Delaware and the
Commonwealth of Virginia, the Governor of the State of Maryland
shall issue a proclamation declaring this Act valid and
effective.
