ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor

Ch. 5

the State Fire Prevention Commission develop a program to identify the
dwellings of certain occupants, for clarity and to avoid defining a term that
is used only once outside of its own definition.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to the "use" of symbols is
substituted for the former reference to the "employment" of symbols for
           clarity.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "rules" is
deleted because the State Fire Prevention Commission adopts
"regulations", not rules. See General Revisor's Note to article.

Former Art. 38A, § 55A(c), which required the State Fire Marshal to
enforce regulations adopted by the Commission, is deleted as redundant in
light of former Art. 38A, § 8(c), which required the State Fire Marshal to
enforce the regulations adopted by the State Fire Prevention Commission.
Former Art. 38A, § 8(c) is revised in § 6-305(a)(2) of this article.

9-505. ALTERNATIVE REQUIREMENTS FOR ACUTE CARE HOSPITALS.
