LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

As to the scope of this section, see 63 Op. Att'y
Gen. 3 (1978), which found that 2 advertisements
made to the general public concerning the service
of a pathology laboratory collecting station did
not fall within the former Article 43, § 34(c)
prohibition against advertising to the general
public. The prohibitory section was found
inapplicable because the advertisements clearly
stated the limitations on the services of the
laboratory to the general public and did not make
false or misleading statements.

Defined terms: "Medical laboratory" § 17-201
"Person" § 1-101 "Physician" § 1-101

17-216. PENALTIES.

A PERSON WHO VIOLATES ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBTITLE IS
GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A
FINE NOT EXCEEDING $100 FOR THE FIRST OFFENSE AND NOT
EXCEEDING $500 FOR EACH SUBSEQUENT CONVICTION FOR A
VIOLATION OF THE SAME PROVISION. EACH DAY A VIOLATION IS
CONTINUED AFTER THE FIRST CONVICTION IS A SUBSEQUENT
OFFENSE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as
Article 43, § 34(e).

The reference to a "subsequent conviction for a
violation of the same provision" is substituted
for the reference to a "successive offense", for
clarity.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined term: "Person" § 1-101
