(5) REGULATE OR PROHIBIT THE INTENTIONAL
TEARING UP OF BASKETS ON THE WAREHOUSE FLOOR BY THE
BUYER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Paragraph (1) presently appears as
Art. 48, §61(1); paragraph (2) presently
appears as Art. 48, §61 (h); paragraph (3)
presently appears as Art. 48, §61 (i); and
paragraph (4) presently appears as Art. 48,
§61(b) of the Code. New language is added to
indicate that this provision applies only to
private warehouses and not the State
Warehouse. The present reference to a
commission "sales" agency is proposed for
deletion and a reference to a commission
"selling" agency is added because this term
is used uniformly throughout this title; See
§7—101(c). Paragraph (5) is new language
derived from the second sentence of Art. 48,
§61(d) of the Code. The only other changes
made are in style.

SEC. 7-208. AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH OPENING AND
CLOSING DATES FOR TOBACCO AUCTION MARKETS.

THE AUTHORITY SHALL DETERMINE ANNUALLY THE OPENING
AND CLOSING DATES FOR THE STATE TOBACCO AUCTION
MARKETS. TO ASSIST IT IN MAKING THIS DETERMINATION,
THE AUTHORITY SHALL CALL A MEETING OF LICENSED
COMMISSION SELLING AGENCIES AND LOOSE LEAF AUCTION
BUYERS NOT LATER THAN DECEMBER 1 OF EACH YEAR. THE
AUTHORITY SHALL GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE OF THIS MEETING TO
EVERY LICENSED COMMISSION SELLING AGENCY AND LOOSE
LEAF AUCTION BUYER AT LEAST TEN DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE
DATE OF THE MEETING. THE AUTHORITY SHALL PUBLISH THE
OPENING AND CLOSING DATES NOT LATER THAN DECEMBER 10
OF EACH YEAR.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 48, §61 (a) of the Code. New language is
added in the first sentence to indicate that
the Authority shall set dates annually. The
present reference to commission "sales"
agency is proposed for deletion because the
term "commission selling agency" is used
throughout this title; See §7-101(c). The
only other changes made are in style.
