Ch. 5

(3) ANY OTHER UNIT DETERMINED BY THE SECRETARY TO BE PART OF
THE DEPARTMENT OR ESTABLISHED BY LAW AS PART OF THE DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 1(b).

In items (1) and (2) of this section, the former phrase "as provided by
Article 38A of the Code" is deleted as unnecessary. The relevant provisions
on the State Fire Prevention Commission and the office of State Fire
Marshal that formerly appeared in Article 38A now appear in Title 6 of this
article.

In item (3) of this section, the reference to a "unit" is substituted for the
former reference to any other "divisions, agencies, offices, commissions,
boards, committees, councils, or units of government" for brevity and
consistency throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to article.

Defined terms: "Department" § 2-101
"Secretary" § 2-101

2-208. DEPARTMENTAL FINANCES.

THE FINANCES OF THE DEPARTMENT ARE SUBJECT TO AUDIT AS PROVIDED BY

LAW.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 28.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase "[i]n accordance with" the
State budget is substituted for the former phrase "in such amount as is
established by" the budget for consistency with similar provisions
throughout the revised articles of the Code.
