Ch. 5

2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(2) THE DUTIES IMPOSED ON THE DEPARTMENT BY THIS TITLE:

(I)      SHALL PROMOTE EFFECTIVE COOPERATION AMONG LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES; AND

(II)     DO NOT LIMIT THE POWERS OR RESPONSIBILITIES OF ANY
OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OR MAKE ANY OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY SUBJECT TO THE SUPERVISION OF THE DEPARTMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 5.

In the introductory language of subsection (b)(2) of this section, the general
reference to the duties imposed by this "title" is substituted for the former
specific reference to the duties imposed by this "subtitle" because some
duties of the Department are found in other subtitles of this title. No
substantive change is intended.

Defined terms: "Department" § 2-101
"Law enforcement agency" § 2-101

2-303. TRAINING FACILITIES.

(A)     AVAILABILITY TO OTHER AGENCIES.

AS PROVIDED IN THE STATE BUDGET, THE DEPARTMENT SHALL MAKE ITS
TRAINING FACILITIES AVAILABLE TO ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY OF THE
STATE AND TO THE POLICE TRAINING COMMISSION TO THE EXTENT THAT THE
TRAINING FACILITIES AND EMPLOYEES OF THE DEPARTMENT ARE AVAILABLE.

(B)     RULES.

THE SECRETARY SHALL ADOPT RULES TO GOVERN:

(1)      THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE TRAINING FACILITIES OF THE
DEPARTMENT MAY BE USED;

(2)      THE COURSE OF TRAINING; AND

(3)      THE QUALIFICATIONS OF INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL USE THE
TRAINING FACILITIES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 6.

In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "[a]s provided in the State
budget" is substituted for the former phrase "to the extent permitted by
fiscal appropriation" to conform to language used in other revised articles
of the Code.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the reference to "individuals" is
substituted for the former reference to "persons" because human beings,
and not the other entities included in the defined term "person", use the
training facilities of the Department.
