REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 18-103(h).

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the former reference to "§ 18-104" is
deleted as obsolete. See General Revisor's Note to subtitle. Similarly, in
subsection (b)(10) of this section, the former specific reference to "§
18-108(d)" is deleted as obsolete.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the reference to "planning guidelines

"multicounty" plans is deleted as included in the defined term "county
plan[s]".

In subsection (b)(4) of this section, the broader reference to transmitting
certain guidelines and procedures to the "governing body of" each county is
substituted for the former narrower reference to transmitting the
guidelines and procedures to the "county executive and the county council
or to the president of the board of county commissioners in" each county,
for brevity and to conform to the apparent legislative intent that this
subtitle apply to Baltimore City.

In subsection (b)(8) of this section, the reference to "providing] for an"
audit "of" county expenditures is added for accuracy and consistency with
§ 1-312(e) of this subtitle.

reference to enhancements "of 9-1-1 systems" is added for clarity.

consistency within this subtitle and this article.

In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the reference
to the guidelines "established by the Board under subsection (b)(1) of this
section" is added for clarity.
