LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 11

In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase
"acquired for the using agency" is added to clarify
that the prohibition applies only in the scope of
employment.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "or
a designee of the Secretary" is added to conform to §
4-311 of this subtitle, which authorizes a designee of
the Secretary to approve invoices.

Defined terms: "Secretary" § 4-101
"Using agency" § 4-301

4-316. RESERVED.

4-317. RESERVED.

PART III. STATE LEASING OF REAL PROPERTY.

4-318. SCOPE OF PART III.

THIS PART III OF THIS SUBTITLE DOES NOT APPLY TO:

(1)  INTERGOVERNMENTAL LEASE TRANSACTIONS;

(2)  LEASE TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING PROPERTY LOCATED
OUTSIDE THE STATE;

(3)  LEASE TRANSACTIONS DECLARED BY THE SECRETARY TO
BE NECESSARY BECAUSE OF AN EMERGENCY;

(4)  LEASE TRANSACTIONS WHERE THE STATE IS THE LESSOR;

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 41,
§ 231G-l(d).

In item (5) of this section, the words "lease

transactions" are substituted for the former

references to new acquisitions and renewals, for
brevity and clarity.

The only other changes are in style.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code points out
to the General Assembly that item (3) of this section
literally exempts emergency lease transactions from
all provisions of this Part III of this subtitle,
including final approval by the Board of Public Works
under § 4-321 of this subtitle.
