REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) presently appears
as Art. 66C, §416 of the Code. The present
provision vesting the enumerated powers in
"the duly authorized officers or agents" of
the Secretary is proposed for deletion and
a single reference to the Secretary is
substituted. New language is added to
indicate the purpose for which the
Secretary may exercise the powers vested in
him by this section.

In paragraph (1) the reference to "city"
is proposed for deletion because this is
intended to refer to Baltimore City which
is included within the reference to county
according to Art. 1, §14 and §1-101(b) of
the Code. The present reference to
"stable" is proposed for deletion and
"location" is substituted because livestock
and poultry inhabit places other than
stables, such as barns, trucks, etc.

Paragraph (2) is new language derived from
