MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                      141

(6) TO PROVIDE JUDICIAL PROCEDURES FOR
CARRYING OUT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE.

(B) THIS SUBTITLE SHALL BE LIBERALLY CONSTRUED
TO EFFECTUATE THESE PURPOSES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 26, §70. Provisions of §70(2) are
placed into paragraphs (2) and (3) to
emphasize diversity of the provisions. The
only other changes made are in style.

SEC. 3-803. GENERAL JURISDICTION OF CIRCUIT COURT IN
JUVENILE CAUSES; DIVISION FOR JUVENILE CAUSES OF
CIRCUIT COURT OF BALTIMORE CITY.

(A)   EXCEPT IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, THE CIRCUIT
COURT FOR EACH COUNTY, HAS ORIGINAL JURISDICTION IN
JUVENILE CAUSES AS DEFINED IN THIS SUBTITLE. WHEN THE
CIRCUIT COURT EXERCISES THIS JURISDICTION, IT IS KNOWN

AS "THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR ________ COUNTY, SITTING AS A

JUVENILE COURT."

(B)    THE DIVISION OF THE CIRCUIT COURT OF
BALTIMORE CITY EXERCISING JUVENILE JURISDICTION IS
KNOWN AS THE DIVISION FOR JUVENILE CAUSES OF THE
COURT. THE SUPREME BENCH OF BALTIMORE CITY SHALL
ASSIGN ONE OR MORE JUDGES OF THE BENCH TO EXERCISE
THIS JURISDICTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 26, §51.

The provision dealing with general juvenile
jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of
Baltimore City is proposed for deletion as
unnecessary; the definition section defines
a court to include the Circuit Court of
Baltimore City. The reference made in
subsection (a) to Montgomery County is
added to make clear on the outset that this
section has no application to the circuit
court of that county.

Subsection (b) of §51 is proposed for
deletion also as unnecessary. It is
incorporated in §3—801.

The only other changes made are in style.
