Ch. 48

LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former SF § ll-103(a).

The introductory language of this section, "[e]xcept
as otherwise expressly provided by law", is
substituted for the former references to express
exemptions "under this subtitle" or "in accordance
with a statutory provision that is not in this
article", for brevity. This substitution allows the
deletion of the former language that limited the
express exemptions in statutory provisions outside
this article to those enacted "as of June 30, 1986",
which was misleading since the General Assembly could
enact an express exemption after that date.

In item (3)(iv) of this section, which makes this
Division II applicable to services for the benefit of
the public at State transportation or higher education
facilities, the words "as required by the Board" are
substituted for the former words "to the extent
required by the Board", for clarity.

Defined terms: "Board" § 11-101

"Procurement" § 11-101

"Procurement contract" § 11-101 "Services" § 11-101

"Unit" § 11-101

11-203. SAME — EXCLUSIONS.
