without substantive change from former Art. 15A, § 18,

and, except for the parenthetical phrase in the first
clause, the first and second clauses of the first
sentence of § 17.

limited references to a unit "of the Executive Branch
of the State government" are substituted for the
former references to "the several departments ... and
agencies of the State" and to "all the departments ...
or agencies of the State". Similarly, in subsections
(a)(2) and (c)(l)(ii) and (2)(iv) of this section, the
references to "unit[s]" are substituted for the former
references to "the above-mentioned departments ... or
agencies of the State", "such agencies", "the same",
and "any departments ... or agencies". In subsection
