HARRY HUGHES, Governor                               1985

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
term "advertise" is deleted as included in
"represent".

In subsection (b) of this section, the former
phrase "within or without the State", which
modified "cold storage", is deleted as
unnecessary.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, "at the
place of sale, there is a conspicuous sign" is
substituted for "placard plainly and
conspicuously marked .... on the bulk mass or
articles of food", for clarity and simplicity.

4-528. RETURN TO COLD STORAGE OF FOOD RELEASED FROM COLD
STORAGE.

IF FOOD HAS BEEN RELEASED FROM COLD STORAGE FOR THE
PURPOSE OF PLACING THE FOOD ON THE MARKET FOR SALE, A PERSON
MAY NOT RETURN THE FOOD TO COLD STORAGE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the first
sentence of former Article 43, § 239.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Article 43, § 242, which required that the
precursor to this subtitle be interpreted in this State as a
uniform state law, is deleted as obsolete. In 1929, the
National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws
decided to stop presenting the Uniform Cold Storage Act to
the state legislatures. At that time, only 6 states had
adopted the Uniform Act, and some of those states have since
repealed it.

As to the penalty for violating this subtitle, see
Subtitle 8 of this title.

The General Assembly may wish to consider repealing
this subtitle, which, as stated above, is derived from a
Uniform Act published in 1914 and enacted by the General
Assembly in 1916. As of 1981, only Maryland and 2 other
states still had the Uniform Act in effect, and the
Department advises the Commission to Revise the Annotated
Code that the Uniform Act is virtually obsolete.
