1392                                        LAWS OF MARYLAND                            [Ch. 4

the suspension provision applicable to the
second offense. The insertion of this
provision here creates a slightly stiffer
penalty because present sections define a
second conviction as one occurring within
the same 12 month period.

The third sentence of subsection (b) is
added in light of an identical provision in
Title 4 proposed by the Legislative
Council. It was felt that prior violations
of these statutes - most of which involve
minor offenses — should not burden someone
in perpetuity in terms of the operation of
the subsection.

It is intended every fine and cost shall be
paid in accordance with Article 38, section
4 of the Code.

10-1102. COLLECTION OF FINES.

(A) "FINES COLLECTED BY DISTRICT COURT. - IF ANY
FINE IS IMPOSED BY THE DISTRICT COURT FOR A VIOLATION
OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS TITLE, THE FINE SHALL BE
COLLECTED PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF LAW OF THE
DISTRICT COURT SYSTEM.

(E) FINES COLLECTED BY CIRCUIT COURT OR THE
CRIMINAL COURT OF BALTIMORE. - IF ANY FINE IS IMPOSED
BY THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ANY COUNTY OR THE CRIMINAL
COURT OF BALTIMORE CITY, THE FINE, LESS THE COSTS OF
COLLECTION, SHALL BE PAID TO THE STATE GAME PROTECTION
FUND, UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
identical to proposed section 4—1202, which
is derived from Article 66C, section 716 of
the Code, as amended by Chapter 181, Acts
of 1972. A reference to the State Game
Protection Fund is added since this is the
only counterpart to the Fisheries Research
and Development Fund. No provision of
Article 66C, requires funds to be paid to
the State Game Protection Fund although all
fines collected in circuit court presently
go into the Fund. It is added here to
maintain consistency with Title 4 and to
indicate the procedure for disposing of
collected fines. It is intended that fines
shall be collected in accordance with
