1510                                        LAWS OF MARYLAND                            [Ch. 6

OF IT, MEAT, OR ANY MEAT FOOD PRODUCT CAPABLE OF USE
AS HUMAN FOOD SHALL BE STORED OR OTHERWISE HANDLED BY
ANY PERSON ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS OF BUYING, SELLING,
FREEZING, STORING, OR TRANSPORTING THESE ARTICLES IN
OR FOR INTRASTATE COMMERCE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from Art. 66C, §470J(b) of the
Code.

SEC. 4-122. SALE, PURCHASE, OR TRANSPORTATION OF
LIVESTOCK THAT DIED OTHERWISE THAN BY SLAUGHTER
PROHIBITED; EXCEPTIONS.

NO PERSON ENGAGED IN THE BUSINESS OF BUYING,
SELLING, OR TRANSPORTING, IN INTRASTATE COMMERCE, ANY
DEAD, DYING, DISABLED, OR DISEASED LIVESTOCK OR ANY
PART OF THE CARCASS OF LIVESTOCK, THAT DIED OTHERWISE
THAN BY SLAUGHTER, MAY BUY, SELL, DONATE, TRANSPORT,
OR OFFER OR RECEIVE FOR SALE OR TRANSPORTATION, IN
INTRASTATE COMMERCE, THE LIVESTOCK OR PART OF CARCASS,
UNLESS THE TRANSACTION OR TRANSPORTATION IS MADE
PURSUANT TO THE DEPARTMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §470K (b) of the Code. The
present reference to persons engaged in
business "in this State" is proposed for
deletion and a reference to "intrastate
commerce" is substituted therefor. This
phrase is added to clarify the legislative
intent to regulate the sale and
distribution of livestock and livestock
carcasses in intrastate commerce; See
§4-102.

The last phrase of §470K(b) is proposed for
deletion because it is assumed that any
rule or regulation adopted under this
subtitle is done so to effectuate the
purposes of the subtitle. The only other
changes made are in style.

SEC. 4-123. PROHIBITED ACTS.

NO PERSON MAY COMMIT OR CAUSE THE COMMISSION OF
ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTS:

(1) SLAUGHTERING LIVESTOCK OR PREPARING
ANY LIVESTOCK CARCASS, PART OF IT, OR MEAT FOOD
PRODUCT IN ANY ESTABLISHMENT OPERATING SOLELY FOR
