contained in Title 4 of this article (i.e., § 4-306) but are not ordinarily
considered to be classified service employees, see Small v. Secretary of
Personnel, 267 Md. 532, 536 (1973).

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE TO TITLE:

The first clause of former Art. 64A, § 44, which provided a short title for Art. 64A,
is deleted as unnecessary in light of the organization of this revision.

Former Art. 64A, § 45, which provided for the severability of invalid provisions, is
deleted as unnecessary in light of Art. 1, § 23 of the Code.

Former Art. 64A, § 46, which provided for the repeal of laws inconsistent with the
provisions of former Art. 64A, especially those provisions governing "classification,
selection and appointment of employees, including Chapter 224 of the Acts of the
General Assembly of 1918", is deleted as obsolete.

As to the effect of this revision on the status of existing positions, see Sections 12
and 13 of Ch.____ (S.B. 50), Acts of 1993, which enacted this Division I.
