LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

(4) SUBPOENA ANY WITNESS OR EVIDENCE.

(B) OATHS.

THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE COMMISSION MAY ADMINISTER
OATHS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY HEARING OR INVESTIGATION UNDER
THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as
Article 43, § 568M(2).

In subsection (a)(4) of this section, the word
"evidence" is substituted for the phrase "papers,
records and documents".

In subsection (b) of this section, the former
reference to "affirmations" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of Article 1, § 9 of the
Code, which authorizes an affirmation to be made
in place of an "oath".

The only other changes are in style.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly,
that, while the Commission has subpoena power
under subsection (a)(4) of this section, there
are no express provisions for enforcement of this
power. Cf., § 2-104 of this article.

Defined terms: "Commission" § 19-201
