REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the first sentence of former Art. 64A, § 10(b), § 12K(2), the third
sentence of § 15, and § 15A(j).

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the phrase
"fiscal year" is added to conform to the reporting period specified in
subsection (a)(6) of this section, which requires reports to cover a fiscal year.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to the "activities" of the
Secretary is substituted for the former reference to the "work and
proceedings" of the Secretary, for brevity.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the more general reference to "State
employment" is substituted for the former references to employees "in service
of the State - classified and unclassified" for consistency.

In subsection (a)(4) of this section, the reference to "unit" is substituted for
the former reference to "office, board, department, commission or
institution", for brevity. See General Revisor's Note to this Division I.
