1348 LAWS OF MARYLAND [Ch. 4
SECRETARY, ANY NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE OFFICER, OF
ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER MAY CONFISCATE THE LICENSE
OF ANY PERSON WHO USES IT UNLAWFULLY OR WHO VIOLATES
THE CERTIFICATION UNDER WHICH IT IS ISSUED.
(G) GUNNING RIGS IN TALBOT COUNTY-—SUBJECT TO
THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 10-612(I), IN THE WATERS OF
TALBOT COUNTY, A PERSON MAY NOT HUNT FROM A GUNNING
RIG, EXCEPT IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY AND EASTERN BAY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) is new language
added to indicate that a gunning rig
license is required. Although several
present sections, namely sections 151 and
159, refer to licensed gunning rigs, none
of these provisions specifically provide
that a license is required. In light of
the definition of "gunning rig" in section
10-601(e), the specific boats considered
gunning rigs are not named. Language is
added to indicate to the Code user that
this license is in addition to a hunter's
license. This subsection is addressed to
residents in light of present section
159(a) which provides that licenses
required by section 151 - Methods of
Hunting; Boats - may be issued to any
resident. The provision exempting a person
using a gunning rig at a licensed blind
site is derived from Article 66C, section
151 (i) and set forth here for
organizational purposes.
Subsections (b) and (c) are new language
derived from similar provisions in Article
66C, section 159(a) and (e) of the Code.
Subsection (d) is new language derived from
Article 66C, section 159(f) of the Code.
Subsection (e) is new language derived from
the last sentence of section 159(e).
Subsection (f) also is new language derived
from Article 66C, section 159(c) of the
Code. & reference to the Natural Resources
Police Force is added in light of Chapter
348, Acts of 1972, which specifically
charged the Natural Resources Police Force
with enforcing the natural resources laws
of the State. A reference to any law
enforcement officer is included because
they also are authorized to enforce the
