WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                      Ch. 11

An entire repeal of the charter of a municipal corporation,
and the termination of the existence of the municipal
corporation, may be accomplished as generally provided above in
the subheading "Charter Amendments." The resolution of the
legislative body of the municipal corporation or the petition of
20 percent or more of the qualified voters need not contain the
text of the charter which it is proposed to repeal, but may
simply state the fact of the proposed repeal. The posting and
publication of the proposed repeal also may simply state that
fact, as may the registration of a favorable vote thereon with
the [State agencies] DEPARTMENT OF LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE, as
provided in § 9A of this article. From and after the time that
the charter stands repealed it no longer may be included in any
subsequent edition or printing of the code of public local laws
of the county or State.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects obsolete provisions in
Article 23A, §§ 19A(j), 27(a), and 41.

Ch. 78 of the Acts of 1983 altered a requirement that
municipal documents filed with State agencies be in a
certain form, to instead require that the documents be
filed with the Department of Legislative Reference.

The obsolete provisions were noted by the
Administrative Office of the Courts of Maryland.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a stylistic error in an
internal reference in Article 24, § 4-204(b).

The stylistic error occurred in Ch. 715 of the Acts of
1976.

The stylistic error was noted by the Michie Company.
