BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
The Public Local Laws of Frederick County
Section 2-7-1(b) and 2-7-4(a)
Article 11 - Public Local Laws of Maryland
(1979 Edition and November, 1992 Supplement, as amended)

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:

Article 11 - Frederick County

2-7-1.

(b) In addition thereto, [they] THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS may levy not
more than [two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00)] $500,000 which shall be
added to the total of estimates and included in their levy. No other sum of money shall be
levied [at all]. [Such levy of taxes made] TAXES LEVIED shall become due and payable
and shall be collected in the manner and at the times fixed by law. The additional [sum
of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00)] $500,000 or so much of this sum as
may be levied shall be a contingency fund and shall be dedicated and appropriated to
meet any unexpected demand which may arise after THE tax levy has been made.

(a) It is expected that the contingency fund [of $250,000.00 or so much of it as
may be levied] ESTABLISHED UNDER § 2-7-1(B) OF THIS ARTICLE will seldom be
needed or used, but is provided as a safeguard or protection in event a contingency should
arise. It shall be dedicated and appropriated to meet any unexpected demand which
arises after the tax levy has been made, the occurrence of which could not reasonably
have been foreseen. The unexpended balance shall be a part of the undesignated fund
balance.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take effect
