   (a) In general. -- In this title the following words have the meanings indicated.

(a) ** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   This subsection is new language added as the standard introductory language to a definition section.

(b) Coordinator. -- "Coordinator" means the State's Attorneys' Coordinator.

   This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition of the full title, "State's Attorneys' Coordinator".

(c) Council. -- "Council" means the State's Attorneys' Coordination Council.

(c) ** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition of the full title, "State's Attorneys' Coordination Council".

(d) State's Attorney. -- "State's Attorney" means the individual holding that office under Article V, § 7 of the Maryland Constitution.

(d) ** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 10, § 39A(d).

(d) ** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   The definition of the term "State's Attorney" in former Art. 10, § 39A(d) was applicable only to former Art. 10, § 39A, which is revised in § 15-108 of this subtitle. However, the term "State's Attorney" was also used in other provisions of former Art. 10 that are revised in this title. In this subsection, the former phrase "[f]or the purpose of this section" is deleted and the definition of "State's Attorney" is made applicable throughout this title. No substantive change is intended.

(d) ** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   Also in this subsection, the reference to an "individual" is substituted for the former reference to a "person" because only a human being and not the other entities including in the defined term "person" can hold the office of State's Attorney.
