REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-913(b), (c), and the first, second, and third
sentences of (a).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the word "terminates" is substituted for
the former words "shall cease" for clarity and consistency throughout this
section.

Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to the "employer" of
the special police officer is substituted for the former reference to the
"State, agency, college, school-system, or business" that requested the
appointment for brevity and consistency with language used elsewhere in
this subtitle.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former reference to "legitimate"
business purposes is deleted as included in the reference to "legal"
business purposes.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to the "other person" is
substituted for the former reference to the "transferee" for clarity and
consistency with subsection (c)(1) of this section.

Defined terms: "Commission" § 3-301
"Secretary" § 3-301
"Special police officer" § 3-301
