THE STATE SHALL BEAR THE NONFEDERAL PORTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
COSTS OF THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM FOR EACH COUNTY.
(C) DUTIES OF LOCAL DEPARTMENTS.
EACH LOCAL DEPARTMENT SHALL ADMINISTER THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM:
(1) UNDER THE SUPERVISION AND CONTROL OF THE DEPARTMENT; AND
(2) IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT
AND FEDERAL LAW.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88A, § 88(a).
In subsection (a) of this section, the former requirement that "the City of
Baltimore and all counties ... participate" in the food stamp program is
deleted as obsolete. Ch. 264, Acts of 1979 repealed local funding
requirements for the food stamp program.
In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "each county" is
substituted for the former reference to "the respective jurisdictions" for
consistency throughout this article.
In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the reference
to "each local department" is substituted for the former reference to "the
City of Baltimore and all counties of the State" to conform to current
practice.
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to "federal law" is
substituted for the former reference to "federal statutes, rules and
regulations" for brevity.
Also in subsection (c)(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.
Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the former reference to "applicable"
federal law is deleted as surplusage.
Defined terms: "County" § 1-101
"Department" § 5-101
"Local department" § 5-101
REVISOR'S NOTE TO SECTION:
Former Art. 88A, § 88(b) and (c), which required local jurisdictions to enter
into written agreements with the Department for the implementation and
administration of the food stamp program, authorized the Department to
administer the program in a local jurisdiction that failed or refused to
participate, and authorized the Department to file an action to compel a
local jurisdiction to fulfill its federal requirements, are deleted as
unnecessary in light of subsection (c) of this section, which requires the
