Ch. 6                                       1994 LAWS OF MARYLAND

Former § 9-205 is not retained in the Code because it is apparently obsolete.
However, it is transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any inadvertent
substantive effect that its repeal might have.

The only changes are in style.

SECTION 11. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section(s) 30 through 40,
inclusive, and the subtitle "Social Security Benefits" of Article 89 - Miscellaneous
Business, Work, and Safety Provisions of the Annotated Code of Maryland be repealed
and reenacted, with amendments, and transferred to the Session Laws, to read as follows:

IT IS THE INTENT OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
SUBHEADING SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT TO THE EXTENT THAT
THESE PROVISIONS ARE APPLICABLE ON SEPTEMBER 30, 1994, AND ARE CONSISTENT
WITH FEDERAL LAW.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to clarify that former Art.
89, §§ 30 through 40 remain in effect to the extent that the provisions are
applicable on September 30, 1994 and are consistent with federal law.

agreement so applicable or as a result of legislative enactment in anticipation thereof.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 89, § 30.

obsolete. However, it is transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any
inadvertent substantive effect that its repeal might have.

The only changes are in style.
