1506                                        LAWS OF MARYLAND                            [Ch. 6

INSPECTOR.

ANY CARCASS, PART OF IT, MEAT, OR MEAT FOOD
PRODUCT WHICH IS PREPARED, WHOLLY OR PARTIALLY, IN ANY
OFFICIAL ESTABLISHMENT, WITHOUT SUPERVISION OF AN
INSPECTOR AS REQUIRED BY THE SECRETARY, SHALL BE
HANDLED OR DISPOSED OF AS THE RULES AND REGULATIONS
PRESCRIBE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §470L(c) of the Code. The phrase
"any establishment at which inspection is
maintained" is proposed for deletion and
"official establishment" is added because
inspection is maintained only at an
official establishment as defined in
§4-101(s). The last sentence of this
subsection is proposed for deletion because
it duplicates the declaration of
legislative intent set forth in §4-102.

The only other changes made are in style.
