(E) SEAL.
THE SECRETARY SHALL HAVE A SEAL.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (c), (d), and (e) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from former Art. 41, §§
6-101(b) and the second sentence of (a) and 6-104(f).
Subsection (b) of this section is standard language added to state the
requirement that an individual appointed to any office of profit or trust
take the oath specified in Md. Constitution, Art. I, § 9. This addition is
supported by 64 Op. Att'y Gen. 246 (1979).
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the former reference to "counsel[ing]"
the Governor is deleted as surplusage in light of the reference to
"advis[ing]" the Governor.
In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to the Secretary's
"compensation" is substituted for the former reference to the Secretary's
"salary" for accuracy and consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to article.
In subsection (e) of this section, the former reference to using the seal "for
purposes of authentication" of certain documents is deleted as implicit in
the reference to a "seal" and for consistency with similar provisions in
other revised articles of the Code. See, e.g., BR § 2-104(b), HG § 2-104(e),
and SF §§ 3-204(d) and 4-204(d).
Defined terms: "Department" § 2-101
"Secretary" § 2-101
2-203. ADMINISTRATION OF DEPARTMENT.

THE SECRETARY MAY ESTABLISH, REORGANIZE, OR ABOLISH AREAS OF
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY AS NECESSARY TO FULFILL
EFFECTIVELY THE DUTIES ASSIGNED TO THE SECRETARY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 6-101(c).
Defined terms: "Department" § 2-101
