REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the first sentence of former Art. 41, § 6-7A-06.
The phrase "on or before January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each
year" is substituted for the former phrase "every 3 months" to maintain the
established schedule for submitting the required reports.
The second sentence of former Art. 41, § 6-7A-06, which required that
"[t]he first report shall be submitted on October 1, 2001", is deleted as
obsolete.
Defined terms: "Department" § 7-501
"Program" § 7-501

14-903 and 14-906(b).
