LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 49

Subsection (d) (2) of this section has been
revised to conform to the changes made to the
Consumer Protection Act by Ch. 609, Acts of
1974, and to reflect the fact that Art. 83, §§
21 and 22A, referred to in present §22E(f)(3),
were repealed by Ch. 609. In this regard, see
general revisor's note to this subtitle.

The prohibition against imprisonment for
violation of this subtitle is now set out in
§13-411(b) of this article.

The only other changes are in style.

14-107. ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS
SUBTITLE, THE DIVISION MAY SUBMIT DISPUTES UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE FOR ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF §13-404 OF THIS ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language
added as a reference to the arbitration
provisions of present Art. 83, §22C — now
contained in §13-404 of this article. The
incorporation by reference is necessitated by
reason of the transfer to this title of the
otherwise generally independent unit pricing
provisions; in this regard, see revisor's note
to §14—105 and general revisor's note to this
subtitle.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE

In revising the Consumer Protection Act, now Title
13 of this article, the Commission to Revise the
Annotated Code noted several inconsistencies between the
general provision of that Act, particularly as amended by
Ch. 609, Acts of 1974, and the unit pricing provisions
which, as Art. 83, §21E, are presently a part of the Act.
Compare, e.g., the exemptions granted by Art. 83, §§ 20J
and 21E(b) (now, respectively, §§ 13—104 and 14-102); and
the consumers' complaints provisions of Art. 83, §§
20F(a) and 2lE(f)(1), (now, respectively, §§ 13-401(a)
and 14—106(a)). To preserve the integrity of the
generally independent unit pricing provision, the
Commission decided to transfer then to this Title 14,
with but the minimal changes necessitated by enactment of
Ch. 609, Acts of 1974.

Article 83, §21E(f) presently provides that, after
the Attorney General declares the specified practice
unlawful, "thereafter...[it qualifies] as an unlawful
practice under §21...and...[is] subject to §§ 22 and
