LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 240

A PERSON WHO APPLIES THE MANEUVERS DEPICTED IN A
DIAGRAM POSTED UNDER THIS SECTION TO REMOVE FOOD LODGED IN
THE THROAT OF ANOTHER IS LIABLE ONLY IF THE PERSON'S ACTIONS
AMOUNT TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43, §§ 200B, 201, 202, 203, and the first clause
of 209.

Former Article 43, § 200B(a)(2) defined the term
"restaurant". However, except in its own
definition, the word "restaurant" was used only
once in former Article 43, § 200B. Therefore, a
separate definition is; omitted in this revision
and the substance of the former definition is
substituted where the defined term formerly was
used.

In subsections (a) and (d) of this section, the
former language "seating capacity" is shortened
to "seating" for clarity and simplicity.

Subsection (e)(3) of this section is new language
added to state expressly that which formerly was
only implied in the law.

In subsection (f)(2) of this section, the former
minimum penalties are deleted to conform to the
statement of legislative policy contained in
Article 27, § 643 of the Code, which sets forth
the general rule that, notwithstanding a
prescribed minimum penalty, the court
nevertheless may impose a lesser penalty of the
same character.

Former Article 43, § 200B(a)(2), which defined
"Secretary", is deleted as unnecessary in light
of the definition of that term in § 1-101 of this
article.

The General Assembly may wish to amend subsection
(a) of this section to require that the charts be
posted "conspicuously".
