ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor

Ch. 5

Subsections (b) through (g) of this section are new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 38A, § 58.

Throughout this section, the reference to "individuals" is substituted for
the former reference to "persons" because individuals, and not the other
entities included in the defined term "person" occupy buildings. See §
1-101 of this article for the definition of "person".

In subsection (a)(3) and (4) of this section, the references to the."most
recent edition" of the National Electrical Code and the Life Safety Code,
respectively, "adopted by the Commission" are added for accuracy. This
conforms to the practice of the State Fire Prevention Commission.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to "this article" is retained
in the revision although the Public Safety Article includes provisions from
articles in addition to former Article 38A. No substantive change is
intended.

In the introductory language of subsection (e)(2) and in subsection (f) of
this section, the former reference to "rules" is deleted because the State
Fire Prevention Commission adopts regulations. See § 6-206 of this article.
