CASES.

(C) EXCEPTION FOR THE SHERIFF OF BALTIMORE

COUNTY THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION DO NOT APPLY

TO THE SHERIFF OF BALTIMORE COUNTY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) presently appears
as Article 66C, section 123, as amended by
Chapter 181, Acts of 1972. The reference
to officers appointed by the Department of
Chesapeake Bay Affairs is proposed for
deletion because it refers to Natural
Resources Police officers. The last
sentence of section 123 is proposed for
deletion because it appears in proposed
subsection (c).

Subsection (b) presently appears as Article
66C, section 124 of the Code. The first
sentence is proposed for deletion because
this provision relates to the Marine Police
which are now part of the Force. The
reference to the State Police is proposed
for deletion because it duplicates proposed
subsection (a). Subsection (c) is new
language derived from similar provisions in
sections 123 and 124.

The only other changes made are in style.
