Latest version.
The first and third Tuesdays of each month and such additional days as the council may determine are designated as days for the enactment of legislation, but in no event shall the council sit for more than forty-five (45) days in each year for the purpose of enacting legislation. When a first or third Tuesday is an official holiday, the next succeeding Tuesday business day shall be a day for the enactment of legislation. The council shall meet at such times as it may determine for the conduct of other business and hearings. The council may adopt rules and regulations which implement or provide for the administration or execution of legislation under such procedures and provisions for notice and hearing prescribed herein or as otherwise prescribed by law. No business shall be transacted, or any appointments made, or nominations confirmed, except in public session. (1970 L.M.C., ch. 23, § 1; 1981 L.M.C., ch. 39, § 1.)
Editor's note-In Montgomery Citizens League v. Greenhalgh, 253 Md. 151, 252 A.2d 242 (1969), it was held that the Council need not designate an emergency extra session a legislative day separate and apart from the call of the session.
