publisher in the substituted section, present
§10—107, resulting in some confusion. With
the exception of certain stylistic
modifications, the provisions of this section
restore the section to its original form and
intent, as enacted by Ch. 534, Acts of 1970.
The only other changes are in style.
As to administrative penalties for violation
of this section, see §20-109 of this title and
§16-402(a)(9) of this article.
The Commission notes that subsection (d) (1) of
this section presupposes that the
investigating officer might not file a report
with the State Police. In any event, isn't it
an undue burden to require the driver (or
owner), as now stated, to make sure that a
report in fact, was filed? Should the
investigating officer be required by statute
to make this report?
Also, since at least one purpose of this
section is to help enforcement of the State's
required security laws (see Title 17 of this
article), should not the report of the
investigating officer he required to contain
the information called for by subsection
(a) (1) (ii) and (2) of this section?
20-108. FALSE REPORTS PROHIBITED.
A PERSON MAY NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION THAT HE KNOWS
OR HAS REASON TO BELIEVE IS FALSE IN ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN
REPORT REQUIRED BY THIS TITLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 66 1/2, §10-108.
The present express reference to a violation
of this section as a "misdemeanor" is deleted
as unnecessary in light of §27-101 of this
article.
The only other changes are in style.
20-109. ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY FOR VIOLATION OF
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
IF A PERSON FAILS TO FILE A WRITTEN ACCIDENT REPORT
AS REQUIRED BY §§ 20-107 AND 20-113 OF THIS TITLE OR TO
GIVE CORRECTLY THE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE REPORT, THE
ADMINISTRATION MAY SUSPEND OR REVOKE:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) THE LICENSE TO DRIVE OF THE PERSON; AND
|
