IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER PENALTY PROVIDED BY LAW, A
PHYSICIAN WHO FAILS TO SUBMIT THE REPORT REQUIRED UNDER §
18-201 OF THIS SUBTITLE, ON CONVICTION, IS SUBJECT TO A FINE
NOT EXCEEDING $100.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from the last clause
of former Article 43, § 78.

The introductory phrase of this subsection,
"{i}n addition to any other penalty provided by
law," is added to reflect that a physician who
fails to file a report required by law is subject
to reprimand, probation, or suspension or
revocation of license. See HO § 14-504.

The former minimum penalty of a $10 fine is
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.

Defined term: "Physician" § 1-101
