WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 647

The former reference that narrowly limited the
authority of the Secretary to powers and duties
"vested ... by the provisions of this subtitle" is
deleted as misleading. Presumably, the powers and
duties of the Board wherever codified would be subject
to the authority of the Secretary.

As to the authority of the Secretary, see, in
particular, Art. 41, §§ 8-101 through 8-106 of the
Code.

Defined terms: "Board" § 3-101
"Secretary" § 1-101
