REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 63(b), (c), (d), and (e).

Throughout this section, references to a "municipal corporation" are
substituted for the former references to a "municipality" to conform to Md.
Constitution, Art. XI-E.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to the "local governing
body of a county" is substituted for the former reference to the "board of
county commissioners or county council of any county, or the Mayor and
City Council of the City of Baltimore" for brevity, and to conform to
subsection (a)(2) of this section. The Public Safety Article Review
Committee notes this substitution for the consideration of the General
Assembly. No substantive change is intended.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to "an agreement entered
into under paragraph (1) of this subsection" is substituted for the former
reference to "the contractual agreements entered into by the local
governing bodies and the Department" to avoid confusion with the
reference to agreements between a county and a municipal corporation.

In subsection (b)(1)(iii) of this section, the former phrase "in addition" is
deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the phrase "achieve the objectives" of
the agreement is substituted for the former phrase "perform the objects" of
the agreement for clarity.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to the cost of the Local
Division within the "municipal corporation" is added for consistency with
subsection (c)(2) and (3) of this section.

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the reference to "reimbursements" is
substituted for the former reference to "payments" to conform to the
