to the entire subtitle instead of only to
violations of four sections. This revision
is derived from an analogous provision of
Subtitle 1 which similarly applies to the
entire subtitle; See §4-127. The present
reference to "individual, partnership,
corporation, or association" is proposed
for deletion in light of the definition of
"person" set forth in §1-101(f).

SEC. 4-224. REPORT OF VIOLATIONS FOR CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION.

BEFORE THE SECRETARY REPORTS ANY VIOLATION OF
THIS SUBTITLE TO ANY STATE'S ATTORNEY OF THE POLITICAL
SUBDIVISION IN WHICH THE VIOLATION OCCURRED FOR
INSTITUTION OF A CRIMINAL PROCEEDING, THE PERSON
AGAINST WHOM THE PROCEEDING IS CONTEMPLATED SHALL BE
GIVEN REASONABLE NOTICE OF THE ALLEGED VIOLATION AND
AN OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT HIS VIEWS ORALLY OR IN
WRITING WITH REGARD TO THE CONTEMPLATED PROCEEDING.
THIS SUBTITLE DOES NOT REQUIRE THE SECRETARY TO REPORT
FOR CRIMINAL PROSECUTION VIOLATIONS OF THIS SUBTITLE
IF HE BELIEVES THAT THE PUBLIC INTEREST WILL BE SERVED
ADEQUATELY AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE SUBTITLE OBTAINED
BY A SUITABLE WRITTEN WARNING NOTICE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 43, §197-14 of the Code. New language
is derived from a similar provision of the
Maryland Wholesome Meat Act, Art. 66C,
§4700., in order to indicate that the
State's Attorney of the political
subdivision in which the violation occurred
is responsible for prosecution. The only
other changes made are in style.
