J. MILLARD TAWES, GOVERNOR                               105

title "Crimes and Punishments", sub-title "Minors—Possession of
Alcoholic Beverages in Worcester County and in Anne Arundel
County", correcting an error in the alcoholic beverage laws re-
lating to Worcester County with particular reference to the require-
ment for a minor to furnish proof of identification and age, and
also correcting the section number of said Section 406D as it ap-
pears in the 1960 Supplement to the Code.

Whereas, In Section 406D of Article 27 of the 1960 Supplement to
the Code, there is a cross-reference to Sections 400 to 406D of that
Article; and

Whereas, This cross-reference is in error and also the section
number is in error because there is no Section 406C in this series;
and

Whereas, It is desirable to correct the cross-reference and also to
change the section number; now, therefore

Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 406D of Article 27 of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1960 Supplement), title "Crimes and Punishments", sub-title
"Minors—Possession of Alcoholic Beverages in Worcester County and
in Anne Arundel County", be and it is hereby repealed and re-enacted,
with amendments, to read as follows:

[406D] 406C. Refusal to furnish proof of identification and age
to police officer.

In Worcester County for the purposes of the enforcement of
Sections 400 through [406D] 406C of this article, when any duly con-
stituted police officer is engaged in the discharge of his duty and he
has reason to believe that a person is under the age of 21 years
it shall be unlawful for such person to fail or refuse to furnish proof
of his identification and age upon demand for the same by said duly
constituted police officer. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article
26, sub-title "Juvenile Causes", to the contrary, all prosecutions for
violations of the provisions of this section may be either upon pre-
sentment and indictment in any court having criminal jurisdiction in
this State, or by trial before any justice of the peace duly assigned to
hear and determine criminal matters in and for the said county, as the
case may be where the offense occurs. Any person refusing to do so
shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction before a court of
competent jurisdiction of this State shall be sentenced to pay a fine of
not less than ten dollars ($10.00) nor more than fifty dollars ($50.00).

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1961.

Approved March 23, 1961.
