SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT EXCEEDING $10,000, OR
IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING TEN YEARS, OR BOTH. THE
COURT MAY IMPOSE COSTS IN ITS DISCRETION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) presently appears
as Art. 43, §197-13(a) of the Code. New
language is added to indicate that this
penalty provision supersedes the uniform
penalty provision of this Article. New
language derived from the uniform penalty
provision of this Article is added to
indicate that the Court may impose costs.
The last sentence is proposed for deletion
because its substance is set forth in
§4-223.

Subsection (b) presently appears as Art.
43, §197-13(c) of the Code. The only other
changes made are in style.
