CITATION TO THE MARYLAND REGISTER

The Maryland Register is cited by volume, issue, page number, and

date. Example:

• 19:8 Md. R. 815—817 (April 17, 1992) refers to Volume 19, Issue

CODE OF MARYLAND REGULATIONS (COMAR)

COMAR is the o fficial compilation of all regulations issued by

agencies of the State of Maryland. The Maryland Register is

COMAR’s temporary supplement, printing all changes to regulations

as soon as they occur. At least on ce annually, the changes to

regulations printed in the Maryland Register are incorporated into

COMAR by means of permanent supplements.

CITATION TO COMAR REGULATIONS

COMAR regulations are cited by title number, subtitle number,

chapter number, and regulation number. Example: COMAR

10.08.01.03 refers to Title 10, Subtitle 08, Chapter 01, Regulation 03.

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

Incorporation by reference is a legal device by which a docu ment is

made part of COMAR simply by referring to it. While the text of an

incorporated document does not appear in COMAR, the provisions of

the incorporated document are as fully enforceable as any other

COMAR regulation . Each regulation that proposes to incorporate a

document is identified in the Maryland Register by an Editor’s Note.

The Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended

or Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation

incorporating a document. Documents incorporated by reference are

available for in spection in various depository libraries located

throughout the State and at the Division of State Documents. These

depositories are listed in the first issue of the Maryland Register

published each year. For further information, call 410-974-2486.

HOW TO RESEARCH REGULATIONS

An Administrative History at the end of every COMAR chapter gives

information about past changes to regulations. To determine if there have

been any subsequent changes, check the ‘‘Cumulative Table of COMAR

Regulations Adopted, Amended, or Repealed’’ which is found online at

www.dsd.state.md.us/CumulativeIndex.pdf. This table lists the regulations

in numerical order, by their COMAR number, followed by the citation to

the Maryland Register in which the change occurred. The Maryland

Register serves as a temporary supplement to COMAR, and the two

publications must always be used together. A Research Guide for Maryland

Regulations is available. For further information, call 410-260-3876.
