(II) THEIR FINDINGS ARE DOCUMENTED.
(E) COPIES.
A COPY OF EACH AMENDED SCHEDULE SHALL BE PROVIDED PROMPTLY

(1)  THE COMPTROLLER; AND

(2)  THE SECRETARY OF BUDGET AND FISCAL PLANNING.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) through (c) and (e) of this
section are new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 15A, § 8(b), (c), (c-l)(l),
(2), (4), and (5), and the parenthetical phrase in the
second clause of the second sentence of (a).

Subsection (d) of this section is new language
substituted for the provisions of the second sentence
of former Art. 15A, § 20(d) that related to the
Legislative Branch. The former sentence allowed an
increase "in strict documented compliance with ... § 8
of". Former Art. 15A, § 8(f), in turn, cited Art.
64A, § 27 of the Code, which enables the Board of
Public Works to approve an amendment of the Secretary
of Personnel's pay plan. The substituted language
obviates the need for 2 cross-references.

The introductory clause of subsection (a) of this
section, "[w]hile the General Assembly is in session",
is added to emphasize the distinction between
subsections (a) and (b) of this section.

In subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section,
respectively, the references to an amendment "that
affects only the schedule for ... the Senate" and
"that affects only the schedule for ... the House" are
substituted for the former references to an amendment
"of its schedule", to clarify the scope of subsection
(a)(1) and (2) of this section and, thus, to
distinguish an amendment under subsection (a)(3) of
this section that also affects the Senate or House
schedule. In light of these substitutions, in
subsection (a)(3) of this section, the general
reference to "any other amendment of a schedule for
the Legislative Branch" is substituted for the
specific examples in former Art. 15A, § 8(c-l)(l) and
(2), and (c-l)(3) is deleted.

Also in subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section, the
phrase "by simple resolution" is substituted for the
former phrase "by resolution", and, in subsection
(a)(3) of this section, the phrase "by joint
resolution" is substituted for the former phrases "by
resolution concurred in separately by the two houses"
