REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 62, §
14.

In subsection (a) of this section, the former phrase
"for the performance of the other duties required by
this article" is deleted as unnecessary.

In subsections (c)(1), (d)(1), (e)(1), (f)(1), (g)(1),
and (h)(1) of this section, a reference to the
governing body setting an additional fee is
substituted for the former references to the governing
body directing the clerk to receive the fee, for
brevity.

In subsection (d)(3) of this section, the phrase
"Title 4, Subtitle 5 of this article" is substituted
for the former phrase, "Article 88A, §§ 101 through
105 of this Code" to clarify that the funds are to be
applied to all battered spouse shelters and domestic
violence programs.

In subsections (d)(4), (f)(4), and (g)(4) of this
section, the word "subsection" is substituted for the
former word "article", for clarity.

In subsection (e)(4) of this section, the term
"subsection" is substituted for the former term
"section", for clarity.
