REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, §§ 2-501(d) and 2-503(b), (e), and (f).
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to the local planning
group "convened in accordance with § 8-605(b) of this subtitle" is added for

reference to the "3-year plan" is deleted in light of the incorporation of the

As to the State's 3-year plan, see Executive Order 01.01.2005.34.
