REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-301(e)(7) and (8).

In subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section, the mandatory language,
which provides that the Commission "shall" appoint an Executive Director,
a Deputy Director, and other employees as necessary to perform general
administrative and training management functions and that the
Commission "shall" employ other individuals as necessary to carry out this
subtitle, is substituted for the former references to "responsibilities" and
"duties" for consistency with similar provisions in other revised articles of
