REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 83B, § 6-504.

In subsection (a)(4) of this section, the reference to the repair, renovation,

In subsections (a)(6), the introductory language of (b), and (c) of this
section, the reference to a "complex project" is substituted for the former
reference to the "complex rehabilitation project" to avoid confusion with
the defined term "rehabilitation project".

In subsections (a)(6) and (c) of this section, the former references to laws
"and regulations" are deleted because the broad reference to a "law"
includes a "regulation" adopted under the authority of a law. See, e.g.,
