DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects errors in punctuation and the
omission of an article and a conjunction in Article
38A, § 8(a).

The errors in punctuation, the use of periods in place
of semi-colons in a listing, and the omission of the
conjunction, "and", occurred in Ch. 46 of the Acts of
1964.

The omission of the article was noted by the Michie
Company. The errors in punctuation and the omission of
the conjunction were noted by the professional staff
of the Legislative Division of the Department of
Legislative Reference.

14A.

1-14 inclusive] §§ 1 THROUGH 14 OF THIS ARTICLE, the powers,
duties and jurisdiction conferred by these sections upon the

authority thereof shall not apply to or within Baltimore City
except on properties owned or operated by the State of Maryland.
The State Fire Code shall apply in Baltimore City to hospitals,
nursing homes and similar institutions which require State

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a stylistic error in a
cross-reference in Article 38A, § 14A(a).
