In item (2) of this subsection, the former phrase "visual acuity greater than
20/200 but with a limitation in the fields of vision such that" is deleted as
surplusage.
(C) DEAF.
"DEAF " MEANS A PERMANENT HEARING LOSS:
(1) THAT NECESSITATES THE USE OF AMPLIFICATION DEVICES TO HEAR
ORAL COMMUNICATION; OR
(2) FOR WHICH AMPLIFICATION DEVICES ARE INEFFECTIVE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 30, § 31(b).
In item (1) of this subsection, the former reference to a permanent hearing
loss that "is severe enough to" necessitate the use of amplification devices
is deleted for brevity. Similarly, in item (2) of this subsection, the former
reference to a permanent hearing loss "[t]hat is so severe" is deleted.
The Human Services Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that the permanency requirement in the definition
of "deaf" is not included in the definitions of "blind" and "mobility
impaired" in this section. The General Assembly may wish to consider
deleting the reference to a "permanent" hearing loss in this subsection. The
Human Services Article Review Committee further notes that the
references to "amplification devices" may be too limited. The General
Assembly may wish to consider substantively revising this subsection.
(D) HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS.
"HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS" MEANS REAL PROPERTY, OR A PORTION OF
REAL PROPERTY, THAT IS:
(1) OFFERED FOR COMPENSATION; AND
(2) USED OR OCCUPIED, OR INTENDED TO BE USED OR OCCUPIED, AS
THE RESIDENCE OR LODGING OF AT LEAST ONE INDIVIDUAL.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from the third clause of former Art. 30, § 33(i)(1) and
the first four clauses of (2).
In item (1) of this subsection, the former references to real property offered
for "rent" or "lease" are deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to
"compensation".
In item (2) of this subsection, the reference to the "residence or lodging of
at least one individual" is substituted for the former reference to the
"home, residence, or sleeping place of one or more human beings" for
brevity.
