REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the second, third, and
fourth sentences of former Art. 78A, § 19A(a).

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this
section, the phrase "within the meaning of § 20 of
this subtitle", which formerly qualified the term
"public improvements", is deleted as unnecessary in
light of the definition of "public improvement" in §
4-401 of this subtitle.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former words
"including those State projects funded under the
'Outdoor Recreation Land Loan of 1969'" are deleted as
unnecessary in light of the broad language "any public
improvement".

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the phrase
"using agency" is substituted for the former reference
to a managing State agency to conform to similar
provisions elsewhere in this title.

Defined terms: "Division" § 4-401
"Public improvement" § 4-401
"Using agency" § 4-401
