(A)     SCOPE OF SUBTITLE.

THIS SUBTITLE APPLIES TO ALL EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING CLASSIFIED,

CONTRACTUAL EMPLOYEES, OF ALL UNITS IN THE EXECUTIVE, JUDICIAL, AND
LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES OF STATE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING ANY UNIT WITH AN

THE RULEMAKING AND OTHER AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY WITH
RESPECT TO THIS SUBTITLE EXTENDS ONLY TO THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE IN THE

clarity, reflecting the broad scope of former Art. 33, §§ 28-1 and 28-2 and Art.

similarly broad provisions of former Art. 64A, § 37B(a), revised as § 7-701 of
this article.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language added to reflect that, as a
general matter, the Secretary's authority extends only to provisions that are
derived from former Art. 64A and not to provisions, such as those revised in
this subtitle, that are derived from other parts of the Code.

Defined terms: "Contractual employee" § 1-101
