LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 12

IMPRISONMENT NOT TO EXCEED SIX MONTHS, OR BOTH. IN CASES
OF A VIOLATION BY A CORPORATION, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR,
OR EMPLOYEE OF THE CORPORATION WHO KNOWINGLY PARTICIPATED
IN ANY ACT OR OMISSION WHICH IS PART OF THE VIOLATION IS
SUBJECT TO THE PENALTIES OF THIS SUBSECTION (C).

REVISOR'S NOTE: The Commission to Revise the
Annotated Code decided to make no changes in
Title 11, stylistic or otherwise, since the
Code Revision Committee of the Section of Real
Property, Planning, and Zoning Law of the
Maryland State Bar Association is completely
revising this title and the resulting bill
will be introduced during the 1974 session of
the General Assembly.

TITLE 12. EMINENT DOMAIN.
SUBTITLE 1. GENERAL RULES.
12-101. APPLICATION OF TITLE.

ALL PROCEEDINGS FOR THE ACQUISITION OF PRIVATE
PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC USE BY CONDEMNATION ARE GOVERNED BY
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS TITLE AND OF SUBTITLE U OF THE
MARYLAND RULES. NOTHING IN THIS TITLE PREVENTS THE STATE
OR ANY OF ITS INSTRUMENTALITIES OR POLITICAL
SUBDIVISIONS, ACTING UNDER STATUTE OR ORDINANCE PASSED
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE III OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE,
OR ANY AMENDMENT TO IT, FROM TAKING PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR
PUBLIC USE IMMEDIATELY ON MAKING THE REQUIRED PAYMENT AND
GIVING ANY REQUIRED SECURITY. IN ADDITION, THIS TITLE
DOES NOT PREVENT THE STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION FROM
USING THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN §§10 THROUGH 20,
INCLUSIVE, OF ARTICLE 89B, OR PREVENT BALTIMORE CITY FROM
USING THE PROCEDURE SET FORTH IN §§674 THROUGH 685,
INCLUSIVE, OF THE CHARTER AND PUBLIC LOCAL LAWS OF
BALTIMORE CITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art, 2 1, §12-101 of the Code. The present
reference to the "State Roads Commission" is
proposed for deletion and "State Highway
Administration" is substituted. The State
Highway Administration is the successor agency
to the Commission and is within the Department
of Transportation. The only other changes are
in style.

12-102. WHEN PROPERTY DEEMED TO BE TAKEN.

IN THIS TITLE, PROPERTY IS DEEMED TO BE TAKEN:
