REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language patterned
after NR § 8-1416(b) and (c).

Although NR § 8-1501, which provides for possible
fines and imprisonment for certain violations,
literally applied to some degree to the sections
of the Natural Resources Article that are revised
in this subtitle, those fines and penalties are
not reflected in this subtitle as revised. The
penalties provided for in NR § 8-1501 are
substantially lower than those provided for in NR
§ 8-1416 -- e.g., for a subsequent offense, a
$1,000 fine, as opposed to a $50,000 fine.
Furthermore, the language in NR § 8-1501(a) and
(b), "unless another penalty is specifically
provided elsewhere in this title", seems to
indicate that NR § 8-1501 probably was not
intended to apply to the provisions revised in
this subtitle in any respect.
