In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

Input: Consider Input: not issue a permit to install" a waste disposal system unless that system "[m]eets all applicable county zoning and land use requirements .... " Taken together, these provisions indicate a clear intent on the part of the General Assembly to locate environmental permitting with the MDE, and zoning with local government. There is no reasonable way to construe these provisions of the Maryland Code as doing anything other than complementing local government's role in planning and zoning. If we held otherwise, we would be reading an over-broad preemptive intent into an otherwise clear statutory scheme. MRA's preemption argument fails because it does not account for the dual nature of this process. See Ad + Soil, Inc. v. County Comm'rs of Queen Anne's County, 307 Md. 307, 513 A.2d 893 (1986) (<HOLDING>). Preemption Based on Legislative Changes to

Output: (B)

Input: Consider Input: Vt. 351, 353-54, 779 A.2d 42, 45 (2001) (declining to reach question of whether there was an actual change in circumstances when child support order previously agreed to by the parties was more than a ten-percent deviation from the guidelines). 7. The family court suggested that our current interpretation of 660(b) creates a potential for abuse: noncustodial parents could agree to pay child support which exceeds the guidelines one day only to return to court the next with a motion to modify based on the percent age difference between the stipulated amount and the guideline calculation. Courts in some other jurisdictions have interpreted rules similar to 660(b) in a manner that attempts to avoid this potential evil. See, e.g., Flannery v. Flannery, 950 P.2d 126, 132 (Alaska 1997) (<HOLDING>). In arriving at our interpretation, we found
Holding statements: (A) holding that a rule presuming a change of circumstances when the amount of child support ordered deviates more than fifteen percent from what would be owed under a current application of the guidelines does not apply if obligor agreed to the deviation (B) holding that the application of the guidelines in effect at sentencing rather than at the time of defendants conduct does not violate the ex post facto clause even if the current guidelines suggest a harsher sentence because the guidelines are only advisory not binding (C) holding trial court may consider social security disability dependency benefits received by the child and may deviate from the application of the child support guidelines if application of the guidelines is unjust or inappropriate (D) holding that the testimony of an obligor as to amount of payments was sufficient evidence to support findings of actual support paid (E) recognizing impact of child support guidelines
