inspected at "official" establishments.
This revision does not change the meaning
of the present language. The declaration
of policy in §4-102 provides that the
subtitle regulates only livestock. Sec.
4-101(s) defines an establishment where
inspection takes place as an "official
establishment". A provision requiring an
article to bear information required by the
rules and regulations of the department is
added to indicate to the Code user that the
rules and regulations also must be complied
with.

Subsection (b) presently appears as Art.
66C, §470H(b) of the Code. The present
reference to "animal" is proposed for
deletion because it is encompassed within
the word "article". The prevision setting
forth the legislative intent of this
subsection is proposed for deletion because
the declaration of legislative intent in
§4—102 applies to the entire subtitle.

The only other changes made are in style.
