MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 1609

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from the third and fourth sentences
of Art. 48, §106 of the Code. Language is
added to the last sentence to provide that a
transportation company also is not liable for
non-delivery.

SUBTITLE 6. SAN JUAN BABBIT.

SEC. 5-601. IMPORTATION OF SAN JUAN RABBITS
PROHIBITED.

A PERSON MAY NOT POSSESS OR IMPOST INTO THE STATE
ANY LIVE RABBIT, OF THE TYPE NOW COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE
"SAN JUAN RABBIT", FOR ANY PURPOSE. EACH RABBIT
IMPORTED OR POSSESSED IN VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION
CONSTITUTES A SEPARATE OFFENSE. IN ADDITION TO ANY
OTHER PENALTY PROVIDED BY THIS ARTICLE, ANY PERSON WHO
VIOLATES THIS SECTION SHALL FORFEIT ANY LIVE SAN JUAN
RABBITS HE POSSESSES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66C, §465A of the Code. The penalty
provision, except the forfeiture requirement,
is proposed for deletion in light of the
uniform penalty provision of this Article.
Language is added to indicate that rabbits
are subject to forfeiture in addition to any
other penalty provided by this Article. The
only other changes made are in style.
