REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the second sentence of Art. 88A, § 86.
In the introductory language of this section, the reference to the "system of
community services" is substituted for the former reference to "this
program" for consistency throughout this subtitle. Similarly, in items (2),
(4), and (5) of this section, references to the "system" are substituted for the
former references to the "program".
In item (1) of this section, the former reference to "rules" is deleted as
included in the reference to "regulations". See General Revisor's Note to
article.
Also in item (1) of this section, the former phrases "for implementation of
the program" and "under the program" are deleted as surplusage.
In item (3) of this section, the reference to "governmental units" is
substituted for the former reference to "public agencies" for consistency
with terminology used throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note
to article.
