Nothing in this Act shall prevent the County from authorizing the issuance and
sale of bonds the interest on which is not excludable from gross income for federal
income tax purposes.

SECTION 9. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the authority to borrow
money and issue bonds conferred on the County by this Act shall be deemed to provide
an additional and alternative authority for borrowing money and shall be regarded as
supplemental and additional to powers conferred upon the County by other laws and
shall not be regarded as in derogation of any power now existing; and all Acts of the
General Assembly of Maryland heretofore passed authorizing the County to borrow
money are hereby continued to the extent that the powers contained in such Acts have
not been exercised, and nothing contained in this Act may be construed to impair, in
any way, the validity of any bonds that may have been issued by the County under the
authority of any said Acts, and the validity of the bonds is hereby ratified, confirmed,
and approved. This Act, being necessary for the welfare of the inhabitants of St.
Mary's County, shall be liberally construed to effect the purposes hereof. All Acts and
parts of Acts inconsistent with the provisions of this Act are hereby repealed to the
extent of such inconsistency.

SECTION 10. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take
effect June 1, 1999.

Approved April 13, 1999.
