1492                                        LAWS OF MARYLAND                            [Ch. 6

an official establishment is one where
State inspection takes place. Art. 66c,
§470F provides that State inspection occurs
only at establishments slaughtering or
preparing livestock solely for intrastate
commerce. Consequently, this definition to
be complete must include both concepts.
Revised §4-109, derived from present §470N,
sets forth the types of establishments not
subject to inspection, thus indicating
these are not official establishments.

This subsection is revised to include a
reference to "meat" since it is inspected
at official establishments.

(T) "OFFICIAL LEGEND" MEANS ANY SYMBOL ADOPTED
BY DEPARTMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS INDICATING AN
ARTICLE HAS PASSED INSPECTION UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as Art. 66C, §470C(t) of the Code. The
only changes made are in style.

(D) "OFFICIAL MARK" MEANS THE OFFICIAL
INSPECTION LEGEND OR ANY OTHER SYMBOL ADOPTED BY THE
DEPARTMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS TO IDENTIFY THE
STATUS OF ANY ARTICLE UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears
as Art. 66C, §470C (s) of the Code. The
phrase "authorized by this subtitle" is
proposed for deletion as unnecessary. The
reference to "animal" is proposed for
deletion because it is encompassed within
the reference to "article". The only other
changes made are in style.

(V) "PESTICIDE CHEMICAL" HAS THE SAME MEANING AS
UNDER THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG, AND COSMETIC ACT,
APPROVED JUNE 25, 1938.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language
derived from Art. 66C, §470C(x) and set
forth here for organizational purposes.
The last phrase of §470C(x) is omitted in
light of Art. 1, §21, as enacted by Ch. 26,
Acts of 1973, which provides that a
statutory reference to an act incorporates
by reference all amendatory and
supplementary acts.
