(ii) ARE NOT UNDER THE CARRIER'S CONTROL.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 14, §49.

The penalty provisions of present §49 now
appear in §18—401 of this title.

18-205. ISSUANCE OF NONNEGOTIABLE BILL OF LADING NOT SO
MARKED.

A PERSON WITH INTENT TO DEFRAUD MAY NOT ISSUE OR AID
IN ISSUING A NONNEGOTIABLE BILL OF LADING WITHOUT A
CONSPICUOUS NOTATION ON ITS FACE OF THE WORDS "NOT
NEGOTIABLE" OR "NONNEGOTIABLE."

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 14, §50.

The word "conspicuous," which is defined in
§18-101, is substituted for "plainly" for
purposes of clarity and to conform this
section to the similar provisions relating to
duplicate bills of lading, as contained in
§18-202 of this title and, by reference in
that section, in §7—402 of this article. See
revisor's note to §18-101(c) .

The penalty provisions of present §50 now
appear in §18—401 of this title.

Also, the word "nonnegotiable" is added as an
affirmative to the required notation of "not
negotiable" to conform to the terminology
otherwise used in the present statute,
generally used in the U.C.C. (Cf. §1-201 (10):
"NONNEGOTIABLE BILL OF LADING"), and generally
used in the trade.

18-206. ISSUANCE OF BILL OF LADING CONTAINING FALSE
STATEMENT.

ISSUE OR AID IN ISSUING A BILL OF LADING FOR GOODS:

(1)       WITH INTENT TO DEFRAUD; AND

(2)       WITH KNOWLEDGE THAT IT CONTAINS A FALSE
STATEMENT.
