WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 11

The omission of the conjunction, "and", was a
publishing error, which occurred in the 1978
Supplement to the 1974 Volume I of the Natural
Resources Article.

The omission of the conjunction was noted by the
Computer Division of the Department of Legislative
Reference.

8-716.1.

(f) (1) The tax imposed by this subtitle and all increases,
interests and penalties thereon shall become, from the time due
and payable, a personal debt of the person liable to pay the same
to the State of Maryland. An action may be brought at any time
[with] WITHIN 3 years from the time the tax shall be due and
payable by the Department in the name of the State to recover the
amount of any taxes, penalties and interest due under the
provisions of this subtitle, but if there is proof of fraud or
gross negligence, there shall be no limitation of the period in
which the action may be brought. Proof of negligence amounting
to 25 percent or more of the tax due shall be prima facie
evidence of gross negligence.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a misspelling in §
8-716.l(f)(1) of the Natural Resources Article.

The misspelling of the word "within" occurred in Ch.
828 of the Acts of 1986.

The misspelling was noted by the Michie Company.

8-718.
