REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (b) and the introductory
language of subsection (a) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from
former SF § ll-138(c)(l) and (5).

Subsection (a)(1) and (2) of this section is new
language substituted for the reference to former "§
ll-137(f) of this subtitle", to reflect the provisions
of that former subsection, which is revised at §
15-220 of this subtitle. See revisor's note to that
section.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to
the exception "for a contract claim relating to a
lease of real property" is added to state expressly
that which formerly only was implied in the law. See
also the revisor's note to § 15-220 of this subtitle,
which discusses the same exception.

Defined terms: "Appeals Board" § 15-201
"Procurement contract" § 11-101 "Unit" § 11-101

15-212. AUTHORITY OF APPEALS BOARD AS TO SUBPOENAS, OATHS, AND
