record may be shortened. Any party unreasonably refusing to
stipulate to limit the record may be taxed by the court for the
additional cost. The court may require or permit subsequent
corrections to the record when deemed advisable.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This clarifies the language in Article 28,
§ 8-106(f).

The language being clarified was contained in Ch. 892
of. the Acts of 1975, as transferred from the Public
Local Laws of Prince George's County and Montgomery
County.

The clarification was suggested by the Michie Company.

Article 29 - Washington Suburban Sanitary District

3-102.

(d) (1) In this subsection "minority business enterprise"
means a minority business enterprise as defined in [Article 21,
Section 8-601 of the Code] § 18-601 OF THE STATE FINANCE AND
PROCUREMENT ARTICLE.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects an obsolete cross-reference
in Article 29, § 3-102(d)(l).

Article 21, § 8-601 became § 18-601 of the State
Finance and Procurement Article in Ch. 12 of the Acts
of the Regular Session of 1985.

The error was noted by the Michie Company.

that have a maturity at the date of issue of more than 1 year, as
fully registered bonds without coupons in a form that the WSSC

for the registration and transfer of bonds generally followed by
banks and trust companies acting as registrars and transfer
agents of bonds. These standards and practices include signing
of bonds by facsimile signatures of WSSC officers, authentication
of bonds by the manual signature of any officer of any bank or
trust company signing as the registrar or transfer agent,
