LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 240

without substantive change from former Article
43, § 580.

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of
this section, "if the person holds a permit" is
new language added to emphasize that this section
allows an exemption from inspection but not an
exemption from the requirement that the
appropriate permit be obtained.

In subsection (a)(2)(ii) of this section, the
phrase "from an establishment that has a ...
rating of at least 90" is substituted for the
provision that the requirements for producing,
processing, and pasteurizing be "enforced with
equal effectiveness, as determined by an
acceptable ... rating of 90". The rating of "90"
is the critical factor in determining whether the
raw milk or pasteurized milk product is handled
properly.

In subsection (c) of this section, the defined
term "milk plant" is substituted for "dairy
plant".
