J. MILLARD TAWES, GOVERNOR 911
and re-enact, with amendments, Section 112 of Article 66½ of
the Annotated Code of Maryland (1957 Edition), title "Motor
Vehicles", sub-title "Administration-Registration-Titling", both re-
lating generally to penalties for operating a motor vehicle when
license, registration card or other driving privilege of a resident
or a nonresident of Maryland has been refused, cancelled, sus-
pended or revoked.
Whereas, certain conflicts now exist between Section 148 of Ar-
ticle 66½ of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1960 Supplement),
and Section 112 of Article 66½ of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1957 Edition), relating generally to penalties for driving any motor
vehicle while license, registration card or other driving privilege
has been refused, cancelled, suspended or revoked; and
Whereas, it is desirable that this conflict be eliminated and certain
matters clarified in order to promote efficient enforcement of the
Motor Vehicle Laws; now, therefore
Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Maryland,
That Section 148 of Article 66½ of the Annotated Code of Maryland
(1960 Supplement), title "Motor Vehicles", sub-title Motor Vehicle
Financial Responsibility", be and it is hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That Section 112 of Article
66½ of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1957 Edition), title "Motor
Vehicles", sub-title "Administration-Registration-Titling", be and it
is hereby repealed and re-enacted, with amendments, to read as
follows:
112.
Any person, resident or nonresident, whose operator's or chauf-
feur's license, registration card, or other driving privilege [as a non-
resident] has been refused, cancelled, suspended, or revoked for any
reason as provided in this article, OR AS PROVIDED IN THE AP-
PLICABLE LAW OF THE JURISDICTION WHICH ISSUED THE
THE NON-RESIDENT'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION CARD OR
OTHER DRIVING PRIVILEGE, and who drives any motor vehicle
upon the highways of this State while such license, card or privilege
is refused, cancelled, suspended, or revoked, is guilty of a misde-
meanor and upon conviction shall be punishable by a fine of not less
than one hundred ($100.00) dollars nor more than one thousand
($1,000.00) dollars or by imprisonment for not less than thirty (30)
days nor more than six (6) months, or both such fine and imprison-
ment. Upon a second or subsequent conviction under the provisions
of this section, the same penalties shall apply except that imprison-
ment for at least 30 days shall be mandatory, provided, however,
that the mandatory provisions of this section may be suspended or
modified by the judges of the circuit courts of the several counties
and the judges of the criminal courts of Baltimore City.
