(b)

If the agency, board or commission determines that an exception or waiver may not be made under paragraph (a) of this subsection, may recommend to the agency, board or commission or to the Legislative Assembly that a specific exception or waiver be made for the purpose of workforce development or economic development in the region.

(2)
