MARYLAND REGISTER

The Maryland Register is an official State publication published every other week throughout the year. A cumulative index is published quarterly.

The Maryland Register is the temporary supplement to the Code of Maryland Regu lations. Any change to the text of regulations published in

The following information is also published regularly in the Register:

CITATION TO THE MARYLAND REGISTER

The Maryland Register is cited by volume, issue, page number, and date. Example:

CODE OF MARYLAND REGULATIONS (COMAR)

COMAR is the official compilation of all regulations issued by agencies of the State of Maryland. The Ma ryland Register is COMAR’s temporary

supplement, printing all changes to regulations as soon as they occur. At least once 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 regula tion 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 document is made part of COMAR simply by referring to it. While t he text of an

incorporated document does not appear in COMAR, the provisions of the incorporated document are as fully enf orceable as any other COMAR

regulation. Each regulation that proposes to incorporate a document is identified in the Ma ryland Register by an Editor’s Note. The C umulative

Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amen ded or Repealed, found online, also identifies each regulation i ncorporating a document. Documents

incorporated by reference are a vailable for inspection i n various depository libraries located throughout the State and at the Division of State

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subsequent changes, check the ‘‘Cumulative Table of COMAR Regulations Adopted, Amended, or Repealed’’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

http://www.dsd.state.md.us/PDF/CumulativeTable.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
