REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as
Article 59A, § 17(a)(2) and (h).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the term
"administrative head" is substituted for the
reference to "the director or other individual in
charge of the facility", to avoid confusion with
references to the Director of the Administration
and to standardize references to this position.
See revisor's note to § 7-204(c) of this title.

As to subsection (a)(2) of this section and    the

reference to the records of individuals who   are

"evaluated or treated in a facility",       see
revisor's note to § 7-610 of this title.

The only other changes are in style.

Former Article 59A, § 17(a)(1), which was the
standard introductory language to a definition
section, is deleted as unnecessary.

Defined term: "Facility" § 7-101

7-904. UNAUTHORIZED SOLICITATION OF OR USE OF FUNDS.

(A)  APPLICATION TO EMPLOYEES.

A STATE EMPLOYEE MAY NOT RECEIVE OR SOLICIT, DIRECTLY

PROVIDED FOR IN TITLE 16 OF THIS ARTICLE, AND FUNDS RECEIVED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBSECTION (B) OF THIS SECTION.

(B)  ACCEPTANCE OF NONBUDGETED FUNDS.

(1)  A STATE FACILITY MAY ACCEPT NONBUDGETED
FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO IT BUT ARE NOT PART OF THE
APPROPRIATION PROCESS OF THIS STATE.

(2)  A STATE FACILITY MAY ACCEPT THESE FUNDS ONLY
UNDER THE POLICY, RULES, OR REGULATIONS THAT THE SECRETARY
SETS.

(C)  PENALTY.

A PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY
OF A MISDEMEANOR AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT
EXCEEDING $100.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
59A, §§ 3(n) and 23A.
