RETURNED TO THE FIATS UNTIL THE CASE IS HEARD AND
DETERMINED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Paragraph (1) of this subsection
is new language derived from Article 66C,
section 168(a) of the Code and is set forth
here for organizational purposes.

Paragraph (2) is new language derived from
the second sentence of Article 66C, section
168 (a) of the Code.

Paragraph (3) presently appears as Article
66C, section 170 of the Code. New language
derived from the last paragraph of section
169(a) is added for organizational
purposes.

Paragraph (4) presently appears as Article
66C, section 169(a) of the Code. New
language is added to indicate that the
Natural Resources Police Force specifically
is charged with enforcing the Natural
Resources laws and that any other law
enforcement officer is authorized to do so.
The last paragraph is proposed for deletion
because it duplicates proposed paragraph
(1).

The only other changes made are in style.
