REACHES 21 YEARS OF AGE UNLESS TERMINATED SOONER.

(B) CONVICTION OF CRIME TERMINATES JURISDICTION

THE COURT'S JURISDICTION IS TERMINATED IF A CHILD
WHO HAS REACHED 18 YEARS OF AGE IS CONVICTED OF A
CRIME INCLUDING THE CONVICTION OF MANSLAUGHTER BY
AUTOMOBILE, UNAUTHORIZED USE OR OCCUPANCY OF A MOTOR
VEHICLE, OR OPERATING A VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS OR DRUGS, UNLESS:

ANY OTHER TRAFFIC LAW OR ORDINANCE OR ANY PROVISION OF
THE STATE BOAT ACT, FISH AND WILDLIFE LAWS OF THE

(2)   THE COURT OTHERWISE ORDERS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 26, §70—3. In subsection
(a), the term "continues" is substituted
for "retained" because the former seems to
be a better term. In addition, the same
term is used in §4-508 of Title 4 dealing
with Montgomery County juvenile causes.
