REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 81, §
19(e)(4)(ii) and the third and fifth through tenth
sentences of former Art. 81, § 19(e)(4)(i).
In subsections (a) and (f)(1) of this section, the
former references to the "office" of the Attorney
General are deleted as superfluous.
In subsection (c) of this section, the term "order" is
substituted for the former term "cease and desist
order", for clarity.
In subsection (d)(1) of this section, the broader
phrase "fails to comply" is substituted for the former
phrase "breaches or violates" to clarify that any
failure to comply is covered.
