SECTION 5. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section(s) 4A of Article
88A - Department of Human Resources of the Annotated Code of Maryland be
repealed and reenacted, with amendments, and transferred to the Session Laws, to
read as follows:
LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTRIBUTIONS TO COSTS OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
[4A.] 1.
Any requirement for a local government contribution to the costs of social
services or public assistance programs, formerly governed by former Article 88A, §
18A, was intended to be repealed and terminated when Article 88A, § 18A was
repealed by Chapter 103 of the Acts of the General Assembly of 1978. Any provision of
the Code inconsistent with that intent to eliminate requirements for local government
contributions to the costs of social services or public assistance programs is hereby
repealed, and any local contribution which may have been required pursuant to such
a provision is hereby waived and terminated and of no further force and effect.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 88A, § 4A.
Former Art. 88A, § 4A is not retained in the Code because it is apparently
obsolete. However, it is transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any
inadvertent effect that its repeal might have.
No changes are made.
SECTION 6. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Laws of Maryland
read as follows:

(1) DEVELOP PROGRAMS FOR PREDELINQUENT CHILDREN WHOSE
