COVERAGE WHEN THE LEAF TOBACCO IS PLACED IN THE

(D) CLAIMS FOR UNSOUND OR DAMAGED TOBACCO.

NO CLAIMS FOR DAMAGES AGAINST THE WAREHOUSE FOR
UNSOUND OR DAMAGED TOBACCO SHALL BE ALLOWED OR PAID
EXCEPT FOR DAMAGES CAUSED BY FIRE OR WATER, IF
INSURANCE COVERAGE IS AVAILABLE AND CARRIED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b) and (c)
presently appear as Art. 48, §51(b) of the
Code.

Subsection (d) presently appears as Art. 48,
§21 of the Code. The reference to
"Warehouse" is added since this section is
intended only to circumscribe the liability
of the State Warehouse and not that of
private warehouses.

The only other changes made are in style.

sentence of Art. 48, §10 and §17 of the Code.

Subsection (b) is new language derived from
Art. 48, §33 of the Code. The present
reference to the "Tobacco Fund" is omitted
because it does not exist. Instead, all
proceeds presently go to the fund created by
§7-306.
