6-508. PENALTIES.

A PERSON WHO VIOLATES ANY PROVISION OF THIS TITLE IS
GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A
FINE NOT EXCEEDING $100 OR IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 1 YEAR
OR BOTH.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first
sentence of Art. 43, § 359(a) and from Art.43, §§
359(b) and 366A(f).

Present Art. 43, §§ 367A, 367B, and 367C were
enacted in 1976 as a separate subtitle entitled
"Cremation". Art. 43, § 367D was added to the
Cremation subtitle in 1977. Art. 43, § 367C of
the subtitle states that "{a}ny person who
violates any provision of this subtitle is guilty
of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine not
exceeding $1,000".

Present Art. 43, § 367A, which relates to
cremation records kept by licensees, now appears
as § 6-405 of this title and, therefore, is
subject to the penalties of present Art. 43, §
359(b) that are imposed under this section for
violation of any provision of this title. Thus,
the reorganization results in a new penalty under
this title for a violation of present Art. 43, §
367A. This change is called to the attention of
the General Assembly.

The second sentence of present Art. 43, § 360A
now appears as § 6-505 of this subtitle.

SUBTITLE 6. SHORT TITLE; TERMINATION OF TITLE.

6-601. SHORT TITLE.

THIS TITLE MAY BE CITED AS THE "MARYLAND MORTICIANS
ACT" .

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to
conform to similar sections in other titles of
this article and to provide a convenient
reference to this title.

PROVISIONS OF THE REGULATORY PROGRAMS EVALUATION ACT OF
