LAWS OF MARYLAND

The introductory phrase of subsection (c) of this

section, "[s]ubject to the    State budget", is added to

indicate that the State budget controls funding for
Board members.

In subsection (c) of this section, the former phrase
"in attending meetings" is deleted to reflect that
Standard State Travel Regulations govern reimbursement
for all official business and not just attendance of
meetings.

The sixth clause of the first sentence of former Art.
56, § 452, which provided for the payment of
compensation out of the fees of the Board, is deleted
as inaccurate and obsolete. All money that the Board
collects is paid into the General Fund of the State.
Therefore, the Board does not have any money of its
own.
