(III) ACTIVITIES OTHER THAN FISHING ARE
PROVIDED FOR THE USERS OF THE RECREATIONAL AREA.

(2) THE OWNER OR OWNERS OF ANY
PRIVATELY-OWNED RECREATIONAL AREA AND THE USERS OF THE
AREA ARE NOT REQUIRED TO DISPLAY FISHING LICENSES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Sections (a), (b), and (c)
presently appear as Article 66C, section
216 of the Code, as amended by Chapter 181,
Acts of 1972. It is divided into
subsections for purposes of clarity. The
references to license are changed to permit
for consistency throughout the section.
The penalty provision of the section is
proposed for deletion in light of the
uniform penalty provision of this title. A
provision prohibiting operating a
fee—fishing lake without a license is
stated instead. Nomenclatural changes
reflect Chapter 348, Acts of 1972. Section
(d) presently appears as Article 66C,
section 216A, as enacted by Chapter 750,
H.B. 87, Acts of 1973.

The only other changes made are in style.
