LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 240

The second and third sentences of former Article
43, § 693(c), which were intended to accomodate a
now defunct interstate cooperative arrangement
involving the Washington, D.C. area, are deleted
as obsolete.

2-602. ORDERS — IN GENERAL.

(A) ISSUANCE.

THE DEPARTMENT MAY ISSUE A SHOW CAUSE ORDER OR A
CORRECTIVE ORDER UNDER THIS SECTION IF THE DEPARTMENT HAS
REASONABLE GROUNDS TO BELIEVE THAT THE PERSON TO WHOM THE
ORDER IS DIRECTED HAS VIOLATED:

(1)  THIS TITLE;

(2)  ANY RULE OR REGULATION ADOPTED UNDER THIS
TITLE;

(3)  ANY PLAN FOR COMPLIANCE ISSUED UNDER THIS
TITLE; OR

(4) ANY PERMIT OR REGISTRATION ISSUED UNDER §
2-401 OF THIS TITLE.

(B) ORDER NOT PREREQUISITE TO OTHER ACTION.

THE DEPARTMENT IS NOT REQUIRED TO ISSUE A SHOW CAUSE
ORDER OR A CORRECTIVE ORDER BEFORE ENFORCING THIS TITLE BY
INJUNCTION OR CIVIL PENALTY UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, §§ 697(d) and 698(g) and the introductory
language of (a).

In subsection (a) of this section, the references
to "plan for compliance", "permit", and
"registration" are new language added for
clarity. In practice, a violation of any of
these is also a violation of a rule or
regulation, but their express inclusion in this
section makes it clearer that orders may be
issued to enforce them.

2-603. SAME -- SHOW CAUSE ORDERS.

(A) CONTENTS.

A SHOW CAUSE ORDER ISSUED UNDER THIS SUBTITLE SHALL:

(1) SPECIFY THE PROVISION THAT ALLEGEDLY HAS
BEEN VIOLATED;
