REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 96A, section 19 of the Code. The
definition of "person" is revised since it
is already covered in section 8-101(h).
This penalty section is retained because
its provisions are more severe than those
in the uniform penalty provision in section
8-1501. It is intended the costs of fines
are paid pursuant to Article 38, section 4.
The only other changes made are in style.
