WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 48

The term "protest" is substituted, as the defined

term, for the former word "complaints" to conform to
practice.

Defined term: "Procurement contract" § 11-101

15-216. APPLICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ACT.

(A)  DISPOSITION BEFORE FILING APPEAL WITH APPEALS BOARD.

TITLE 10, SUBTITLE 2 OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT ARTICLE DOES
NOT APPLY TO THE DISPOSITION OF A PROTEST OR A CONTRACT CLAIM BY:

(1)  A PRIMARY PROCUREMENT UNIT;

(2)  A PROCUREMENT OFFICER; OR

(3)  A UNIT.

(B)  PROCEEDINGS OF APPEALS BOARD.

THE APPEALS BOARD SHALL CONDUCT ITS PROCEEDINGS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH TITLE 10, SUBTITLE 2 OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT
ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
former SF § 11-137(b)(4).

Subsection (b) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from former SF §
ll-138(c)(2)(i).

In subsection (a) of this section, the specific
references to a "procurement officer", "unit", and
"primary procurement unit" are substituted for the
former reference to "this section", for clarity, since
the referenced section, former SF § 11-137, related to
the procedures that a primary procurement unit, a
procurement officer, and a unit must follow after a
person files a protest or contract claim.

Defined terms: "Contract claim" § 15-215
"Primary procurement units" § 11-101
"Procurement officer" § 11-101 "Protest" § 15-215
"Unit" § 11-101
