change from former Art. 48A, § 35.

article.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to "§ 10-223" of the State
Government Article is substituted for the former reference to "§ 10-216" of
the State Government Article to reflect the renumbering of provisions of Title

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48A, § 37.

In subsection (a)(1)(i) of this section, new language is added to state expressly
that which only was implied in the former law, i.e., the Commissioner shall
notify each person specified in the provision of this article under which the
hearing is held.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the phrase "all persons entitled to notice
of the hearing" is substituted for the former phrase "all persons directly
affected" by the hearing for clarity.
