"PUBLIC BODY" MEANS:

(1)  THE STATE;

(2)  A UNIT; OR

(3)  A LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY IN THE STATE,
INCLUDING A BICOUNTY OR MULTICOUNTY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
avoid repetition of phrases such as "the State or any
of its subdivisions" and "State or other subdivision
contracting agency".

In light of this addition, the word "subdivision" no
longer appears in this revised subtitle. Therefore,
the substance of former SF § 12-101(e), which defined
"[subdivision", is incorporated in item (3) of this
subsection, and former § 12-101(e) is deleted.

Defined term: "Unit" § 11-101

REVISOR'S NOTE TO SECTION: Former SF § 12-101(d), which
defined "person" as having "the same meaning provided
in § 11-101 of this article", is deleted as
surplusage.
