WEAPON, UNLESS AN ORDER REMOVING THE PROCEEDING TO THE
JUVENILE COURT HAS BEEN FILED PURSUANT TO §594A OF
ARTICLE 27.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 26, §70-2(d), as amended by Chs. 129
and 772, H.B.s 113 and 401, respectively.
Acts of 1973. The provisions of subtitle
(d) constitute a new section for the
purpose of emphasis.

In paragraph (1) the phrase "associated
offense" is substituted for "an offense
arising out of the act alleged to have been
committed" for the purpose of clarity.

Paragraph (3) reflects the change made by
H.B. 113, Ch. 129 of the Acts of 1973,
excluding juvenile court jurisdiction over
any offense in violation of the State Boat
Act. See Art. 26, §54, repealed by Ch.
432, Acts of 1969.

Paragraph (4) reflects the change made by
H.B. 401, Ch. 772, Acts of 1973, clarifying
the language concerning jurisdiction over
the crime of robbery with a deadly weapon.

The only other changes made are in style.
