MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                 637

only requires that a nonresident be a
landowner. The requirement that a
nonresident name the "county where he
desires to fish" is proposed for deletion
since it conflicts with the decision in
Bruce v. Director. (See revisor's note at
section 4—703, supra). Lastly, the
reference to section 234 (g) is proposed for
deletion and a specific reference to the
subject matter of that subsection has been
included.

Subsection (c) presently appears as Article
66C, section 302, as amended by Chapter 86,
Acts of 1972, of the Code. Subsection (d)
presently appears as Article 66C, section
299. In this subsection, the references to
sections 263, 298, and 302 are proposed for
deletion since the provisions of these
sections are included within this section.

Subsection (e) presently appears as Article
66C, section 263 (c) of the Code but has
been inserted here for organizational
purposes. The reference to present section
302 is proposed for deletion and a
reference to subsection (c) substituted in
its place.

Subsection (f) presently appears as the
first paragraph of Article 66C, section
301.

The only other changes made are in style.
