through (c) were "repealed" in addition to being revised and transferred to the Session
Laws in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 of Ch. 26; and

(2)     inadvertent failure to properly list the following sections as
"repealed":

(i) Article 27, §§ 156D, 156E, and 276 (revised by Ch. 26,
Section 2 as §§ 9-610, 9-611, and 5-102, respectively, of the Criminal Law Article);
and
