Ch. 10

1993 LAWS OF MARYLAND

In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "[s]ubject to the requirements of
this title" is added to reflect that the Secretary's authority is limited by the
specific requirements of this title. Thus, for example, the Secretary's
regulations may not deny leave to an employee who is entitled to that leave
under the express provisions of this title.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "[n]otwithstanding
any other ... law" is deleted as misleading given that later enactments of the
General Assembly could well supersede these provisions.

The State Personnel Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that the Secretary's authority under this section and
under § 7-102 of this subtitle does not extend to all types of leave available to
State employees. For example, work-related accident leave provided for in
Subtitle 6 of this title is not covered by either subsection (b) of this section or
§ 7-102(a)(2) of this subtitle.

Defined terms: "Classified service" § 1-101
"Contractual employee" § 1-101
"Secretary" § 1-101

7-102. REPORTS.

(A)     REPORTS TO SECRETARY.

SUBTITLE SHALL REQUIRE EACH UNIT SUBJECT TO THOSE REGULATIONS TO
SUBMIT TO THE SECRETARY PERIODIC REPORTS THAT INCLUDE:

(1)      THE TOTAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IN THE UNIT; AND

(2)      THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS OF ANNUAL, PERSONAL, AND SICK

(B)     DUTIES OF SECRETARY.
THE SECRETARY SHALL:

(1)      COMPILE ALL LEAVE REPORTS RECEIVED FROM ALL UNITS; AND

(2)      MAINTAIN A CENTRAL DATA BASE ON THOSE REPORTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 64A, § 37A(b), except as it required an annual report
to the General Assembly.

As to annual reports on leave by the Secretary, see § 2-203 of this article.

As to the limited scope of the types of leave covered by this section, see
Revisor's Note to § 7-101 of this subtitle.
