Ch. 11

Art. 41, § 71(d), which enabled the Attorney General
to assign work to assistant attorneys general,
required them to do the assigned work, required them
to be lawyers, and provided for their salaries, are
deleted as unnecessary in light of SG § 6-105.

Defined terms: "Department" § 3-101

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Art. 41, § 71(g), which abolished the Department of
Budget and Procurement and the office of its Director and
transferred all related authority and property to the Department
of Budget and Fiscal Planning and its Secretary, is deleted as
obsolete, since the transfer and other events contemplated
already have occurred and since former Art. 41, § 231F
subsequently transferred those functions of the Director of
Budget and Procurement in connection with the Purchasing Bureau
to the Department of General Services.

See also Title 10, Subtitle 7 of the State Government
Article, which provides that the property and obligations of an
abolished unit vest in the successor unit and which keeps the
rules or regulations, orders, hearings, and proceedings of an
abolished unit in effect.

As to additional units in the Department, see Executive
Order 01.01.1981.09, which assigned the General Administration
Program of the Board of Public Works to the Department.
Executive Order 01.01.1973.06 also assigned to the Department the
Council of Economic Advisors. However, the Council has been
abolished.

THERE IS A CENTRAL COLLECTION UNIT IN THE DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first clause of
the first sentence of former Art. 41, § 71(c-l)(l).

It is set forth as a separate section for emphasis.
