Ch. 10

1993 LAWS OF MARYLAND

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to "the reason for the
proposed disqualification" is added to clarify the contents of the notice,
consistent with similar provisions elsewhere. See §§ 4-204 and 4-303 of this
title.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the former phrase "explaining why the
person's name should not be removed from the eligible list" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the use of the broad term "response".

The State Personnel Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that the grounds listed under subsection (a) of this
section differ from the grounds listed in other similar sections in this title. See
§§ 4-204, 4-303, and 4-307 of this title and their respective Revisor's Notes.

As to disqualifications for medical reasons, see § 3-501 of this article.
