REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 64A, § 56(a), (c) through (e), and, as it related to
awards under this section, the first sentence of (b).

Subsection (a) of this section is rephrased to define "award" to avoid
repeating the various proceedings involved in this section.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former examples of various types of
actions involving employees are deleted as included in the general reference
to an "employee grievance or hearing".

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to "the affected unit or
officer" is added for clarity.

The second sentence of former Art. 64A, § 56(b), which prohibited the use of
sovereign immunity as a defense in employment discrimination cases, is
revised in Art. 49B, § 17A of the Code.
