7-501. DEFINITIONS.

IN THIS SUBTITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS INDICATED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 41, § 6-7A-01(a).
No changes are made.
(B) AGENCY-PROVIDER MODEL.

(2) SUPERVISED AND EVALUATED BY THE CONSUMER
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 41, § 6-7A-01(b).
In the introductory language of this subsection, the former reference to a
"service option" is deleted as surplusage.
Also in the introductory language of this subsection, the defined term
"consumer" is substituted for the former reference to an "eligible
individual" for consistency throughout this subtitle.
The former phrase "and the agency is the personal assistant's employer of
record" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to the personal
assistant being "employed by a provider agency".
Defined terms: "Community attendant services and supports" § 7-501
"Consumer" § 7-501
"Personal assistant" § 7-501
(C) ATTENDANT SERVICES AND SUPPORTS.
