REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 10, § 45-O(c) and CJ § 7-408(b) through (g).
In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to the Fund being a "special"
fund is added for consistency with similar provisions in other revised
articles of the Code.
In subsection (d)(4) of this section, the reference to "investment earnings of
the Fund" is new language added for consistency with subsection (f)(2) of
this section.
In subsection (e) of this section, the former references to "moneys
distributed to" and "moneys appropriated to" the Fund are deleted as
included in the reference to the "Fund".
Also in subsection (e) of this section, the former phrases "under this
section" and "in accordance with § 7-408(g) of the Courts Article" are
deleted as unnecessary in light of the revision of former Art. 10, § 45-O(c)
and CJ § 7-408(g) in this section.
