REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88A, § 7.
In subsections (a)(1), (b), and (c)(1) and (2) of this section, the references to
a civil "action" are substituted for the former references to "cases" and
"suits" for consistency with the Maryland Rules.
In subsections (a)(1) and (b) of this section, the former references to an
"interested" party are deleted as surplusage.
In subsections (a)(1) and (c)(3) of this section, the former references to
"Baltimore City" are deleted in light of § 1-101 of this article, which
defines "county" to include Baltimore City.
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase "[e]xcept as provided in
paragraph (2) of this subsection," is added for clarity.
Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former phrase "as defined in §
4 of this article" is deleted as surplusage.
In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "[a]ctions in which the local
department is a party" is substituted for the former phrase "[a]ll such
suits" for clarity.
In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the phrase "[t]he court may award
attorney's fees" is substituted for the former phrase "may be allowed such
fees for their services as may be fixed by the court" for brevity and
consistency with similar provisions elsewhere in the Code.
Also in subsection (c)(1) of this section, the phrase "[a]n attorney
representing a local department" is substituted for the former phrase "such
attorneys" for clarity.
In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the phrase "[e]xcept as otherwise
provided" is substituted for the former phrase "[f]or such other legal
services ... not provided for otherwise" for clarity and brevity.
Also in subsection (d)(1) of this section, the phrase "an attorney who
provides any other legal services" is substituted for the former phrase "[f]or
such other legal services as are required of such attorneys" for clarity.
Also in subsection (d)(1) of this section, the former phrase "from time to
time" is deleted as surplusage.
Also in subsection (d)(1) of this section, the reference to the "Department"
