620                                       LAWS OF MARYLAND                             [Ch. 4

in the last sentence of subsection (c) as
the present statute reads. The department
advises that no such review is contemplated
or takes place that would involve a
hearing, etc.

The penalty provision of present section
221 (d) is proposed for deletion because it
is covered by the proposed uniform penalty
provision of this title. However,
subsection (e) is new language derived from
the last clause of the last paragraph of
section 221(d) which is not covered by the
uniform provision.

The only other changes made are in style.

4-612. INADVERTENT VIOLATION OF SECTION 4-610.

IF ANY PERSON, CONVICTED OF VIOLATING SECTION
4-610 UNDER ANY PENALTY PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE,
PRESENTS HIS ANGLER'S LICENSE TO THE COURT WITHIN FIVE
DAYS AFTER HIS CONVICTION, THE COURT, IF IT DETERMINES
THE PERSON HELD THE LICENSE PRIOR TO HIS ARREST AND
VIOLATION WAS DUE TO INADVERTENCE, MAY REDUCE BY HALF
ANY PENALTY ORIGINALLY IMPOSED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
derived from a provision of Article 66C,
section 220 of the Code. The penalty
provision applicable for violating section
4—610 is the uniform penalty provision of
this title. While the potential penalty is
greater under this uniform penalty section,
the thrust of the provision of section 220
remains unchanged, that is, that the court
has the discretion to reduce the penalty in
half if the violator displays his license,
establishes it was issued prior to his
arrest, and his violation was due to
inadvertence on his part.

4-613. CONFISCATION OF ANGLER'S LICENSE.

(A) IN GENERAL. - A NATURAL RESOURCES POLICE
OFFICER OR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER MAY CONFISCATE A
PERSON'S ANGLER'S LICENSE IF IT IS TRANSFERRED TO
ANOTHER PERSON OR USED OR PRESENTED BY A PERSON OTHER
THAN THE PERSON TO WHOM IT WAS ISSUED.
