(2)  NEGLECT TO PERFORM ANY DUTY IMPOSED BY THIS
SUBTITLE; OR

(3)  VIOLATE ANY RULE OR REGULATION ADOPTED UNDER
THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as
Article 43, § 28 (a) through (g), except the
penalty clauses of those subsections.

Subsection (d)(2) of this section is revised to
prohibit providing a record "with the intention
that it be used by that person to deceive", to
reflect that records may be given to persons
other than the individual to whom the record
relates. This prohibition is based on the
limitation in subsection (d)(1) of this • section.

Subsection (e) of this section is revised to
avoid the former, unintended implication that the
subsection applied only if a person "engages" in
a prohibited activity on an ongoing basis.

In subsection (f) of this section, the former
reference to an "employee or appointee of the
State Board of Health and Mental Hygiene" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the use of the
defined term "person".

The only other changes are in style.

As to subsection (g) of this section and
burial-transit permits, see § 4-216 of this
subtitle.

Defined terms: "Birth" § 4-201

"Body" § 4-201 "Person" § 1-101

"Fetal death" § 4-201 "Secretary" § 1-101

4-227. PENALTIES.
