SUBCOMMITTEE COMMENT: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 56, §§
213(d) and, as it related to the chairman, § 214(c).

In subsection (a) of this section, the former phrase
"as of June 1, 1967" is deleted as obsolete.

The introductory phrase of subsection (d) of this
section, "[w]hile in office", is substituted for the
former language "upon entering the performance of his
duties", to clarify that the Chairman must have
coverage throughout the term of office.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the standard
language "in the form and amount required by law" is
substituted for the former incomplete reference to
Art. 78A, §§ 46 through 50 of the Code. See also Art.
19, § 20 of the Code and SF §§ 9-107 and 10-203.

Defined term: "Commission" § 4-101
