THE LOCAL GOVERNING BODY.

(F)     WAIVER OF LEGAL RESTRICTIONS OR DELAYING PROCEDURES.

ANY LEGAL RESTRICTIONS OR DELAYING PROCEDURES ARE WAIVED AND MAY

(2)      THE SECURING AND HIRING OF PERSONAL SERVICES;

INDEBTEDNESS THAT MAY BE ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING; OR

(4)      THE RATE OF TAXATION THAT MAY BE IMPOSED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 16A, § 35.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former phrase "or any of these
conditions" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to serious
human suffering, death, personal injury, "or" property damage. Similarly,
in subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "or any of them" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to money "or" materials
"or" services.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference that the powers in this
section "may be exercised" is substituted for the former reference that the
local governing body "has" the powers for consistency throughout this
subtitle.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "[i]n such event" is
deleted as unnecessary because subsection (a) of this section establishes
the conditions under which this section applies.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the phrase "under subsection (b) of this
section" is added for clarity.
