MARVIN MANDEL, Governor                                     681

in light of similar language used in other
licensing sections of this title.
Likewise, the phrase "in the waters of the
State" is used to maintain consistency with
the language used throughout this title.
The provision where to obtain the license
appears in section 4—806.

In subsection (e) the term "Natural
Resources Police officer" is substituted
for "Maryland Marine Police force" in light
of Chapter 348, Acts of 1972 which created
the Natural Resources Police force. Also,
"law enforcement officer" is used in place
of the present language, "officer of the
State", to avoid the possibility of
including employees of the department.

4--805. COMMERCIAL CRABBING BY NON-RESIDENTS OF THE
STATE PROHIBITED.

A NON-RESIDENT OF THE STATE MAY NOT CATCH CRABS

REVISOR'S NOTE; This section is new language
derived from the identical provision
presently appearing in Article 66C, section
322 of the Code. The phrase "in the waters
of the State" has been used to maintain
consistency with this provision of this
title.
