Ch. 48

LAWS OF MARYLAND

(I)  THE LABOR, TIME, OR EFFORT OF A CONTRACTOR;
AND

(II)  ANY PRODUCT OR REPORT NECESSARILY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE RENDERING OF A SERVICE.

(2)  "SERVICES" INCLUDES SERVICES PROVIDED BY
ATTORNEYS, ACCOUNTANTS, PHYSICIANS, CONSULTANTS, AND OTHER
PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.

(3)  "SERVICES" DOES NOT INCLUDE:

(I)  CONSTRUCTION RELATED SERVICES;

(II)  ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES; OR

(III)  ENGINEERING SERVICES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former SF §
ll-l0l(ii)(1), (3), and (4).

In paragraph (l)(i) of this subsection, the former
phrase "rather than a specific physical product" is
deleted as surplusage. No substantive change is
intended.

Paragraph (l)(ii) of this subsection is revised to
state that services "means" any "product
necessarily associated with the rendering of a
service". This revision is based on the former
language stating that services "may include products
necessarily associated with the rendering of a
service". The discretion associated with the former
word "may" seemed unintended.

In paragraph (l)(ii) of this subsection, the reference
to a "report" is substituted for former SF §
ll-l0l(ii)(2), which stated that "[a] contractor
performing services may be required to furnish reports
incidental to the performance", for brevity and
clarity.

In paragraph (2) of this subsection, the former phrase
"as opposed to State employees" is deleted as
surplusage.

Defined terms: "Architectural services" § 11-101
"Construction related services" § 11-101
"Engineering services" § 11-101

(T) STATE.
