Ch. 48                                          LAWS OF MARYLAND

provided in subsection (c)", makes clear that
subsection (b)(1) of this section refers only to units
subject to the limitation in subsection (b) of this
section — i.e., "units" as defined in § 11-101 of
this article.

The Procurement Revision Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection
(c)(2) of this section is in apparent conflict with
the general authority of the Board. See the revisor's
note to § 12-203, which presents the same issue.

Former SF § 11-205(a)(1), which was standard
introductory language to a definition provision, is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the deletion of
former § ll-205(a)(2) and (3). Former § ll-205(a)(2)
and (3) defined, respectively, "Board" and "State
agency" and are unnecessary in light of the
definitions of "Board" and "unit" in § 11-101 of this
article.

Defined terms: "Board" § 11-101
"Unit" § 11-101

12-205. MAXIMUM RENT.

(2) THE LEASED PREMISES ARE TO BE OCCUPIED BY THE
STATE OR A UNIT OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT FOR A STATE PURPOSE. TO
BE OCCUPIED BY THE STATE OR A UNIT OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT FOR A
STATE PURPOSE AT AN ANNUAL RENT THAT EXCEEDS 15% OF THE FAIR

without substantive change from former SF §§ 11-203
