LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 49

change from Art. 27, §160.

Subsection (b) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from Art.
14A, §50.

The Commission notes that the language of
these two provisions, as well as the penalties
prescribed for violations of each, contain
certain substantive differences, although
their purposes are basically the same. The
Legislature may consider repealing one or the
other of these subsections or consolidating
the desirable features of each into one
uniform prohibition. Alternatively, the
Legislature may wish to amend the applicable
penalty provisions.

The penalty provisions of present Art. 27,
§160 and Art. 14A, §50 now appear in §18—401
of this title.

18-302. ISSUANCE OF DUPLICATE WAREHOUSE RECEIPT NOT SO
MARKED.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY §7-601 OF THIS ARTICLE, A
WAREHOUSEMAN OR HIS OFFICER, AGENT, OR EMPLOYEE MAY NOT
ISSUE OR AID IN ISSUING A DUPLICATE OR ADDITIONAL
NEGOTIABLE WAREHOUSE RECEIPT FOR ANY GOODS:

(1)    WITHOUT A CONSPICUOUS ROTATION ON ITS FACE OF
THE WORD "DUPLICATE";

(2)   WITH KNOWLEDGE THAT THE ORIGINAL WAREHOUSE
RECEIPT FOR THE GOODS IS OUTSTANDING AND UNCANCELLED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 14A, §52.

The reference to "§14" of Art. 14A, which does
not presently exist, is corrected to refer to
its successor statute, §7—601 of present Art.
95B, now contained in §7—601 of this article.

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
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 §52 now
