Subsection (b) of this section formerly appeared as
Art. 41, § 231C(e).

references to the "office of the Superintendent of
Annapolis Public Buildings and Grounds" and the

former phrase "functions, boards, commissions,
bureaus, offices and agencies", for brevity and to
conform with similar provisions elsewhere in this

In subsection (a)(5) of this section, the phrase
"under any other law" is substituted for the former
words "as may hereafter pursuant to law be declared",
for brevity and clarity.

In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "each
unit in the Department" is substituted for the former
phrase "all divisions, commissions, boards, and other
agencies of the Department", for brevity and to
conform to similar provisions elsewhere in this title.

The only other changes are in style.
