to the various State departments and agencies to conduct administrative hearings by the
Office of Administrative Hearings are to be transferred to the Office of Administrative
Hearings (23.01.11.01) on July 1, 1994 and may not be expended for any other purpose.

SECTION 16. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Board of Public
Works in exercising its authority to create additional positions pursuant to Section 7-236
of the State Finance and Procurement Article, may authorize during the fiscal year no
more than 50 positions in excess of the total number of authorized State positions on July
1, 1994, as determined by the Secretary of Budget and Fiscal Planning. Provided,
however, that if the imposition of this ceiling causes undue hardship in any department,
agency, board, or commission, additional positions may be created for that affected unit
to the extent that positions authorized by the General Assembly for the fiscal year are
abolished in that unit or in other units of State government. It is further provided that the

reflecting fundamental changes in federal/State relationships. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this section, the Board of Public Works may authorize additional temporary
positions to meet public emergencies resulting from an act of God and violent acts of

shall prepare a report for the budget committees upon creation of these positions detailing
where permanent positions have been authorized and where contractual positions have been
abolished.

not preclude the placement of additional information into the budget book. For Fiscal
Year 1996, the budget detail shall be available from the Department of Budget and Fiscal
Planning's automated data system at the subobject level by statewide subobject codes and
