CHAPTER 3
(Senate Bill 32)

AN ACT to add, effective July 1, 1947, A NEW Section 320 (f) (6)
to Article 81 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1951 Edition
and 1956 Supplement), title "Revenue and Taxes", sub-title "Retail
Sales Tax Act", to follow immediately after 320 (f) (5) thereof,
more clearly TO define "retail sale" and "sale at retail" as used
in the Retail Sales Tax Act; and to repeal and re-enact, with
amendments, effective July 1, 1947, Section 368 (d) of Article 81

of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1951 Edition), title "Revenue
and Taxes", sub-title "Maryland Use Tax", more clearly to define
the word "Use" as used in the Maryland Use Tax Act; and to
provide that no person shall be subject to criminal prosecution OR
TO PAY INTEREST OR CIVIL PENALTIES as a result of the
retroactive nature of this Act.

Whereas, it is and has always been the intent of the General As-
sembly of Maryland that the definition of "Retail Sale" and "Sale at
Retail" should include all sales, except sales in which the sole purpose
of the purchaser is to resell the tangible personal property or services
which he purchases either in the form in which the same is received
by him; or to use or incorporate the property as a material or part
