5-402. PUBLIC ASSISTANCE TO ADULTS PROGRAM.
(A) PROGRAM ESTABLISHED.
THERE IS A STATE FUNDED PUBLIC ASSISTANCE TO ADULTS PROGRAM IN THE
ADMINISTRATION.
(B) SCOPE AND ADMINISTRATION OF PROGRAM.
THE PROGRAM SHALL BE:
(1) IN EFFECT IN EACH COUNTY; AND
(2) ADMINISTERED BY THE LOCAL DEPARTMENTS IN ACCORDANCE
WITH REGULATIONS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION ADOPTS.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88A, § 65(b) and the last clause of (a), and, as it
related to the establishment of the Program, the first clause of (a).
Subsection (a) of this section is restated in standard language for clarity
and consistency with similar provisions elsewhere in this article.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to "each county" is
substituted for the former reference to "all political subdivisions of this
State" for clarity and consistency with terminology used throughout this
article.
In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the former reference to "rules" is deleted
in light of the reference to "regulations". See General Revisor's Note to
article.
Defined terms: "Administration" § 5-101
"Assistance" § 5-401
"County" § 1-101
"Program" § 5-401
5-403. ELIGIBILITY FOR ASSISTANCE.
