LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 11

(2) THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS NEED NOT INCLUDE ANY
OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPROPRIATION UNDER THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the former second and
fourth sentences of ED § 13-114(b) and the former
second sentence of (c).

Defined terms: "Includes";"including" § 1-101

7-112. CONFORMITY WITH STATUTES.

(A)  GENERALLY REQUIRED.

UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED BY LAW, THE GOVERNOR MAY NOT

In subsection (a) of this section, the former,

surplusage.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former

supplemental budget amendment in another provision
means that an amendment is not included.

In subsection (b) of this section, reference to the

former statement that the budget bill "shall operate
as an amendment to such act", to avoid the suggestion
that the statute changes.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former
limitation "to the extent of such increase or
