Ch. 48

LAWS OF MARYLAND

"CERTIFICATION" MEANS THE DETERMINATION THAT A LEGAL ENTITY
IS A MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS
SUBTITLE THROUGH A PROCEDURE THAT:

(1)  THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION USES; OR

(2)  THE STATE MINORITY BUSINESS CERTIFICATION COUNCIL
RECOMMENDS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former SF §
ll-148(a)(5).

Former SF § ll-148(a){5) referred to an entity being a
minority business enterprise for purposes of this
"subtitle", which encompassed all of former Title 11,
Subtitle 1. The word "subtitle", in the introductory
language of this section, is narrower since it
encompasses only those provisions derived from former
SF § 11-148. The Procurement Revision Review
Committee believes that the former cross reference was
incorrect and should have referred only to the
purposes of this "section". This ambiguity, however,
is noted for the consideration of the General
Assembly.

Defined term: "Minority business
enterprise" § 14-301

(C)  CERTIFIED MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE.

"CERTIFIED MINORITY BUSINESS ENTERPRISE" MEANS A MINORITY
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE THAT HOLDS A CERTIFICATION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
avoid repetition of the phrase "minority business
enterprise that holds a certification".

Defined terms: "Certification" § 14-301
"Minority business enterprise" § 14-301

(D)  DESIGNATED UNIT.
"DESIGNATED UNIT" MEANS:

(1)  THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES;

(2)  THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION;

(3)  THE INTERAGENCY COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION;
