(3) A MEMBER APPOINTED AFTER A TERM HAS BEGUN SERVES ONLY
FOR THE REST OF THE TERM AND UNTIL A SUCCESSOR IS APPOINTED AND
QUALIFIES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b), and (c)(1) and (3) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from former Art. 27, §
681A(b)(1) and (3).

Subsection (c)(2) of this section is standard language added to avoid gaps
in membership by indicating that a member serves until a successor takes
office. This addition is supported by the holdings in Benson v. Mellor, 152
Md. 481 (1927), and Grooms v. LaVale Zoning Board, 27 Md. App. 266
(1975).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to the
Commissioner serving as an "ex officio member" is deleted for consistency
within this subsection. Twelve of the 16 members of the Advisory
Committee serve on the Committee in an ex officio capacity, i.e., because
they hold designated offices.

In subsection (a)(4) and (5) of this section, references to "a member of the
House of Delegates, appointed by the Speaker" and "a member of the
Senate, appointed by the President" are substituted for the former
reference to "[t]wo members of the General Assembly, one ... appointed by
the Speaker ... and one ... appointed by the President" for clarity.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former reference to a member's term
beginning on "July 1, 1981" is deleted as obsolete. The terms of the four
representatives of private industry serving on the Committee as of October
1, 1999 end on June 30, 2002. This revision is not intended to alter these
terms.

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the former reference to a "vacancy
[being] filled in the same manner as for an original appointment" is
deleted as implicit.

Defined terms: "Advisory Committee" § 3-501
"Commissioner" § 3-101
"Comptroller" § 1-101
