942                                              LAWS OF MARYLAND                                      Ch. 11

Subsection (a) of this section is revised to clarify
that the statement and any recommendation are part of
the supporting documents.

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this
section, the former reference to "the budget submitted
for the 1977 fiscal year" is deleted as obsolete.

In subsections (a)(1) and (b) through (d) of this
section, the word "statement" is substituted for the
former word "listing", in light of the information
required under subsection (b) of this section.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the former word
"organizations" is deleted as unnecessary in light of
the use of the defined term "person".

In subsection (c) of this section, the former
references to specific revenue sources are deleted as
misleading. For example, former Art. 15A, §
20(b-2)(15) referred to the "[g]asoline tax"
exemptions under Art. 56, § 150 of the Code. However,
the referenced section refers to a "license tax" and,
thus, encompasses all of the motor vehicle fuel tax
and not simply the part of the tax that Art. 56, §
136(f) of the Code denotes as the "gasoline tax". In
light of the broad scope of subsection (a) of this
section and the former phrase "include, but not be
limited to", the former reference to specific revenue
sources seemed to be included for information, rather
than for limitation.

In subsection (c)(3)(iii) of this section, the
cross-reference to Art. 81, "§ 136" is substituted
for the former, incorrect cross-reference to "§ 135".

Also in subsection (c)(3)(iii) of this section, the
cross-reference to Art. 81, "§ 432" is substituted for
the incorrect repetition, in former Art. 15A, §
20(b-2)(9), of the cross-reference, in former §
20(b-2)(8), to Art. 81, §§ 326 and 375.

Subsection (d) of this section is revised to impose on
units of the State government a duty to help the
Secretary of Budget and Fiscal Planning, since, under
§ 7-104 of this subtitle, the Secretary already is
charged with drafting a proposed budget.

In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to a
"draft" of the statement is added, to reflect that the
Governor controls the final statement included in the
proposed budget. This addition is consistent with §
7-104 of this subtitle.

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