Annotated Code of Maryland

(1980 Replacement Volume and 1981 Supplement)

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That a new
Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, designated
"Health - General", be and it is hereby enacted to read as
follows:

ARTICLE - HEALTH - GENERAL

TITLE 1. DEFINITIONS; GENERAL PROVISIONS.

SUBTITLE 1. DEFINITIONS.

1-101. DEFINITIONS.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

IN THIS ARTICLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS
INDICATED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language used as
the standard introductory language to a
definition section.

(B)  COUNTY.

"COUNTY" MEANS A COUNTY OF THIS STATE AND, UNLESS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE, BALTIMORE CITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added
to indicate that a reference in this article to
"county" includes Baltimore City, unless the
reference specifically provides otherwise.

Article 1, § 14 of the Code provides that
"county" includes Baltimore City "unless such
construction would be unreasonable". However,
the word "unreasonable" in that section has been
interpreted various ways. Therefore, the
Commission to Revise the Annotated Code concluded
that a more explicit definition of "county"
should be included here.

(C) DEPARTMENT.
