2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(2) BY THE BUDGET AMENDMENT PROCEDURE AS PROVIDED IN § 7-209
OF THE STATE FINANCE AND PROCUREMENT ARTICLE, IF AT LEAST 45 DAYS HAVE
PASSED SINCE THE BUDGET AMENDMENT AND SUPPORTING INFORMATION WERE
SUBMITTED TO THE BUDGET COMMITTEES FOR THEIR REVIEW AND COMMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 83(a), (b), (c), (e), and (d)(1), (2), and (3).

In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "failing to stop for" school
vehicles is substituted for the former word "passing" school vehicles for
accuracy and consistency within this subtitle. See § 4-203(b) and (c) of this
subtitle.

In subsections (c)(2) and (d)(2) of this section, the reference to the
"Secretary" is substituted for the former reference to the "Department" for
consistency within this section.

In subsections (d)(2) and (f) of this section, the former reference to the
"State" Treasurer is deleted as implicit. Similarly, in subsection (d)(2) of
this section, the former reference to the "State" Comptroller is deleted.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the word "separately" is added to modify
"hold" to clarify that the Treasurer shall keep the Fund separate from
other State funds. This language is standard language used for special
funds. See, e.g., CS § 10-503(a)(3).

In subsection (e)(2) of this section, the general reference to "any other
source" is substituted for the former reference to "any governmental or
private source" for consistency with similar provisions throughout this
article.

Defined terms: "Fund" § 4-201

"Law enforcement agency" § 4-201
"School vehicle" § 4-201
"Secretary" § 4-201
