LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 284

In the introductory clause of subsection (c) of this
section, the term "payor bank", which is the term used
in the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code, is
substituted for the former references to the "bank on
which it is drawn", for brevity.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the phrase "by a
licensed agent" is added for clarity. Although the
first and second clauses of former Art. 88D, § 23A(a)
could be read to apply to any check given to the
Agency, the third and fourth clauses of § 23A(a) were
limited to transfers from accounts of licensed agents.
The Agency indicates that the reference to checks also
is construed as limited.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the former
reference to charging the additional amount "to cover
the cost of collection by the central collection unit"
is deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (e)(1)(i) of this section, the phrase
"whether real or personal", which formerly modified
"property", is deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (e)(3) of this section, the former
reference to the clerk "accurately" recording the lien
is deleted as unnecessary in light of CJ § 2-201 as to
a clerk's performance of duties.

Defined terms: "Agency" § 9-101

"County" § 1-101 "Director" § 9-101

"Includes";"including" § 1-101
