LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 296

In subsection (c)(1)(i) of this section, "show cause
order" is substituted for the former word "notice",
for clarity.

In the introductory language of subsection (d) of this
section, the phrase "under this subtitle" is new
language added for clarity.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the phrase
"order the individual imprisoned" is substituted for
the former phrase "commit him to jail or any other
institution of penal confinement", for brevity and
simplicity.

Defined term: "Support" § 1-101

5-1042. BOND TO COMPLY WITH ORDER.

(A)  IN GENERAL.

IN A PATERNITY PROCEEDING, THE COURT MAY ORDER THAT EITHER
OR BOTH OF THE PARENTS OF THE CHILD GIVE BOND IN THE FORM AND
PENALTY THE COURT DIRECTS, WITH OR WITHOUT SECURITIES.

(B)  CONDITIONS OF BOND..

THE BOND TO BE GIVEN BY A PARENT SHALL BE CONDITIONED ON:

(1)  THE PERFORMANCE OF ALL PROVISIONS OF THE ORDER
AND ANY SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATION TO THE ORDER;

(2)  THE PARENT NOT LEAVING THIS STATE WITHOUT THE
COURT'S PERMISSION; AND

(3)  THE PARENT NOT CHANGING ADDRESS WITHIN THIS STATE
WITHOUT GIVING PROPER NOTICE TO A SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR
OTHER PERSON THE COURT DESIGNATES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 16, §
66J(b).

In subsection (b) of this section, "support
enforcement officer" is substituted for "probation
officer", for clarity and to reflect current
terminology.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection
(b) of this section may unconstitutionally restrict
the right to travel. The Commission, therefore,
recommends that the General Assembly consider
repealing that part of subsection (b) of this section
that relates to the parent's right to leave this
State.
