A COURT OF THIS STATE ACTING EITHER AS AN INITIATING STATE
OR A RESPONDING STATE MAY DIRECT THAT ANY PART OF OR ALL FEES AND
COSTS INCURRED IN THIS STATE, INCLUDING FEES FOR FILING, SERVICE
OF PROCESS, SEIZURE OF PROPERTY, AND STENOGRAPHIC SERVICE OF BOTH
OBLIGEE AND OBLIGOR OR EITHER, BE PAID BY THE OBLIGOR OR BY THE
COUNTY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Article
89C, § 15.

The words "an initiating state or a responding state"
are substituted for the former language "an initiating
or responding state" to clarify that the definition of
"initiating state" applies.

The former reference to "City of Baltimore" is deleted
as unnecessary in light of the definition of "county"
in § l-101(b) of this article.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "County" § 1-101

"Court" § 10-301 "Including" § 1-101

"Initiating state" § 10-301

"Obligee" § 10-301 "Obligor" § 10-301

"Responding state" § 10-301 "State" § 10-301

10-315. OBTAINING BODY OF OBLIGOR BY APPROPRIATE PROCESS.

WHEN THE COURT OF THIS STATE, ACTING EITHER AS AN INITIATING
STATE OR A RESPONDING STATE, HAS REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE
OBLIGOR MAY FLEE THE JURISDICTION, IT MAY:

(1)  AS AN INITIATING STATE, REQUEST IN ITS
CERTIFICATE THAT THE COURT OF THE RESPONDING STATE OBTAIN THE
BODY OF THE OBLIGOR BY APPROPRIATE PROCESS IF THAT IS PERMISSIBLE
UNDER THE LAW OF THE RESPONDING STATE; OR

(2)  AS A RESPONDING STATE, OBTAIN THE BODY OF THE
OBLIGOR BY APPROPRIATE PROCESS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Article
89C, § 16.

In the introductory language of this section, the
words "an initiating state or a responding state" are
substituted for the former language "an initiating or
responding state" to clarify that the definition of
"initiating state" applies.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Court" § 10-301
"Initiating state" § 10-301
