HARRY HUGHES, Governor

Subsection (d)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section is new
language substituted for the fifth clause of former
Art. 15A, § 8(f) and the provisions of the second
sentence of § 20(d) that related to the Executive
Branch.

Subsection (d)(2)(iii) of this section is new language
substituted for the third sentence of former Art. 15A,
§ 20(d), which stated that "all actions in which the
ceiling is exceeded [are] temporary until approved by
the General Assembly at its next session."

Subsection (e) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 15A, §
8(i) and the second sentence of (g).

Subsection (f) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from the reference, in the
second clause of former Art. 15A, § 8(d), to
"transmission to the Comptroller" and the fifth

clause of the second sentence of (e).

Subsection (g) of this section is new language

authority of the Boards of Regents of Morgan State
University and the University of Maryland and the
Boards of Trustees of St. Mary's College and the State
Universities and Colleges under former Art. 15A, §
8(h). This addition exempts the Boards from the
general requirement, in former Art. 15A, § 27, for

Secretary of Budget and Fiscal Planning. Although
