(II)  NOT GUILTY OF A CODE VIOLATION; OR

(III)  BEFORE RENDERING JUDGMENT, THE COURT
MAY PLACE THE DEFENDANT ON PROBATION IN THE SAME MANNER AND
TO THE SAME EXTENT AS IS PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE TRIAL OF A
CRIMINAL CASE.

(I) THE COURT COSTS IN A CODE VIOLATION CASE IN WHICH
COSTS ARE IMPOSED ARE $5. A DEFENDANT IS LIABLE FOR PAYMENT
TO THE CRIMINAL INJURY COMPENSATION FUND.

(J) WHEN A DEFENDANT HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF A CODE
VIOLATION AND A FINE HAS BEEN IMPOSED BY THE COURT, THE
COURT MAY DIRECT THAT THE PAYMENT OF THE FINE BE SUSPENDED
OR DEFERRED UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS AS THE COURT MAY
ESTABLISH. WHEN ANY DEFENDANT HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF A
CODE VIOLATION AND WILLFULLY FAILS TO PAY THE FINE IMPOSED
BY THE COURT, THAT WILLFUL FAILURE MAY BE TREATED AS A
CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OF COURT, FOR WHICH THE DEFENDANT MAY BE
PUNISHED BY THE COURT AS PROVIDED BY LAW.

(K) A DEFENDANT WHO HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF A CODE
VIOLATION HAS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL OR TO FILE A MOTION FOR A
NEW TRIAL OR A MOTION FOR A REVISION OF A JUDGMENT PROVIDED
BY LAW IN THE TRIAL OF A CRIMINAL CASE. THE MOTIONS SHALL
BE MADE IN THE SAME MANNER PROVIDED IN THE TRIAL OF CRIMINAL
CASES, AND THE COURT, IN RULING ON THE MOTIONS, HAS THE SAME
AUTHORITY PROVIDED IN THE TRIAL OF CRIMINAL CASES.

(L) THE STATE'S ATTORNEY OF ANY COUNTY MAY PROSECUTE A
CODE VIOLATION IN THE SAME MANNER AS PROSECUTION OF A
VIOLATION OF THE CRIMINAL LAWS OF THIS STATE. THE STATE'S
ATTORNEY IS AUTHORIZED TO ENTER A NOLLE PROSEQUI IN SUCH
CASES OR TO PLACE SUCH CASES ON THE STET DOCKET, AND TO
EXERCISE AUTHORITY IN THE SAME MANNER PRESCRIBED BY LAW FOR
VIOLATION OF THE CRIMINAL LAWS OF THIS STATE.

403C.

(A)  IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON BEING ISSUED A
CITATION UNDER §§ 400 THROUGH 403B OF THIS ARTICLE OR §

ISSUING THE CITATION. ANY PERSON VIOLATING THE PROVISIONS

(B)  THE JUVENILE COURT HAS JURISDICTION OVER THOSE
MINORS WHO ARE WITHIN THE AGE OF JUVENILE COURT
JURISDICTION. HOWEVER, IF THERE IS A WAIVER OF JUVENILE
JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO A MINOR WHO IS OTHERWISE
SUBJECT TO JUVENILE COURT JURISDICTION, THE DISTRICT COURT
HAS JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY
PROVISION OF § 4-301 OF THE COURTS ARTICLE OF THE CODE TO
THE CONTRARY.
