(2) UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW, THE SECRETARY "SHALL
APPOINT AND REMOVE ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE STATE PERSONNEL AND PENSIONS

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-103(b)(2) and (3), the first sentence of (1)
and, as it allows the Secretary to make a designation, the second sentence.

In subsection (a) of this section, the word "may" is substituted for the
former reference to the word "shall" for consistency with similar provisions
in other revised articles of the Code. See, e.g., BR § 2-103(b)(1), SF §
4-203(b)(1), BOP §§ 14-204(d) and 5-204(e)(1), EN § 1-403(b)(1), SF §§
3-203(c)(1) and 5-203(a), SG §§ 2-1606(b), 5-105(a), 6-105(a)(l), and
9-108(e)(1), HG § 2-103(b)(1), HO § 17-204(d), and FI § 2-104.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a "staff" is
substituted for the former specific reference to "assistants, professional
consultants and employees" for brevity and consistency with similar
provisions in other revised articles of the Code. See, e.g., BR § 2-103(b)(l),
SF § 4-203(b)(1), BOP §§ 14-204(d) and 5-204(e)(1), EN § l-403(b)(l), SF
§§ 3-203(c)(1) and 5-203(a), SG §§ 2-1606(b), 5-105(a), 6-105(a)(l), and
9-108(e)(1), HG § 2-103(b)(1), HO § 17-204(d), and FI § 2-104.

In subsection (b) of this section, the term "staff assistant" is substituted for
the former reference to "assistants" for consistency with subsection (c) of
this section.

In subsection (c)(1)(i) of this section, the reference to "appoint[ment]" is
added to state expressly that which was only implied in the former law and
for consistency with subsection (c)(2) of this section.
