REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88A, § 3(c), (e), (f), (g), and (a)(2) and, as it related
to social service activities, (1).
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to "duties" is substituted
for the former reference to "powers" for consistency with subsection (a)(1)
of this section.
Also in subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to a "minor" is
substituted for the former reference to "persons under the age of 18" for
brevity and consistency. See Art. 1, § 24.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to local departments
"in the counties and in Baltimore City" is deleted as surplusage.
In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the reference
to "abused" children is added for accuracy and consistency with provisions
in other revised articles relating to child welfare. See, e.g., CJ Title 3,
Subtitle 8; FL Title 5, Subtitle 5, Part III; and FL Title 5, Subtitle 7. This
addition is called to the attention of the General Assembly.
In subsection (e) of this section, the reference to "this title" is substituted
for the former reference to "this article" to reflect the change in the
organization of the provisions formerly contained in Article 88A.
The Human Services Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that subsection (f) of this section requires the
Administration to submit its annual report to the Governor only. The
General Assembly may wish to add a requirement that the report also be
submitted to the General Assembly, in accordance with SG § 2-1246.
Defined terms: "Administration" § 4-101
"Local department" § 4-101
"Person" § 1-101
4-206. AUTOMATED STATEWIDE SYSTEM.
THE DEPARTMENT MAY DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT AN AUTOMATED
STATEWIDE SYSTEM AND RELATED ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES TO ACHIEVE
EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY THE PURPOSES OF THIS TITLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the first sentence of former Art. 88A, § 3(b).
The reference to the "Department" is substituted for the former reference
to the "State Department" to conform to current practice. All of the
automated statewide systems used by units in the Department of Human
Resources are provided by the Department. This substitution is called to
the attention of the General Assembly.
Defined term: "Department" § 4-101
