LAWS OF MARYLAND

reference to a determination that a hearing by the
Commission is required. The new language of this
paragraph, when read together with the new language of
subsection (d)(1)(ii), which requires the Commission
to set a hearing, provides a clear procedure for the
reconsideration of a hearing board's decision.

The third sentence of former Art. 56, § 224A(b), which
provided that the powers vested in the hearing board
are subject to the authority of the Secretary, is
deleted as surplusage. The Commission, of which the
hearing board is a part, is subject to the authority
of the Secretary under § 4-214 of this title.
