(1985 Code, Art. 24, § 7-113) (Bill No. 96-01; Bill No. 71-08; Bill No. 45-12)
Editor's note – This section was added to the public local laws of Maryland (Article 2 - Anne Arundel County) by 1986 Md. Laws, Ch. 350, § 1. This section was added as § 13-900 in the 1967 Code and recodified as Article 24, § 7-113 in the 1985 Code. Section 2 of the Act reads, in part: "The Anne Arundel County Administration shall submit to the Anne Arundel County Delegation of the General Assembly an annual written report concerning the implementation and effect of this Act. The report shall be submitted on or before commencement of the regular legislative session for 1989, and 1990."
Editor's note – Subsection (b) was enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland by House Bill 515, effective October 1, 2008. House Bill 515 referred to § 17-11-215, but because of the repeal of § 17-11-210 in 2008 by Bill No. 71-08, § 17-11-215 was renumbered as § 17-11-214. Section 17-11-211 was subsequently repealed in 2012 by Bill No. 45-12, resulting in § 17-11-214 being renumbered as § 17-11-213.
