Article 41 - Governor - Executive and Administrative Departments of the Annotated
Code of Maryland be transferred to be Section(s) 8-2003 of Article - Natural
Resources of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

SECTION 6. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section(s) 64 of Article 89

-  Miscellaneous Business, Work, and Safety Provisions of the Annotated Code of
Maryland be transferred to be Section(s) 24-212 of Article - Health - General of the
Annotated Code of Maryland.

SECTION 7. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section(s) 7(c)(1)(ii) of
Article 38A - Fires and Investigations of the Annotated Code of Maryland be repealed
and reenacted, with amendments, and transferred to the Session Laws, to read as
follows:

DEPUTY AND SPECIAL DEPUTY STATE FIRE MARSHALS SERVING ON JULY 1, 1985

[7.] 1.

[(c) (1) (ii) The minimum qualifications for an assistant State fire marshal
shall be the completion of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1031

-  Fire Inspector I or the equivalent, as determined by the State Fire Marshal.
However, all] ALL legally appointed deputy State fire marshals or special deputy
State fire marshals serving as of July 1, 1985, are exempt from the minimum
standard provisions of [this section] § 6-304 OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY ARTICLE. [The
State Fire Marshal may administer an examination based upon NFPA 1031 before a
person is certified as an assistant State fire marshal.]

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 38A, § 7(c)(1)(ii).

The first and third sentences of former Art. 38A, § 7(c)(1)(ii) are revised as
§ 6-304(b) of the Public Safety Article.

The second sentence of former Art. 38A, § 7(c)(1)(ii) exempts from certain
minimum qualifications deputy State fire marshals and special deputy
State fire marshals who were serving on July 1, 1985. It is not retained in
the Code because of its limited and diminishing applicability. However, it is
transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any inadvertent substantive effect
that its repeal might have.

The only changes are in style.

SECTION 8. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section(s) 10-811 of
Article 41 - Governor - Executive and Administrative Departments of the Annotated
Code of Maryland be repealed and reenacted, with amendments, and transferred to
the Session Laws, to read as follows:
