LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 8

THE JUDGMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language that repeats
the provisions of the first and second sentences of
present Art. 81, § 210(b) and the first and second
clauses of (a), as those clauses relate to the duty to
initiate action.

In the introductory language of subsection (b) of this
section, the defined term "municipal corporation" is
substituted for the present reference to "city", for
clarity and consistency.

Also in the introductory language of subsection (b) of
this section, the former reference to "[w]henever such
suit is requested to be instituted and it is
ascertained by the officer whose duty it is to collect
such taxes including the interest and penalties
accrued thereon that a lesser sum may be collected
than the total sum due" is omitted as superfluous.

Also in the introductory language of subsection (b) of
this section, the present language "and the full sum
may include all taxes due the jurisdiction" is omitted
as superfluous.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the reference to
accepting a lesser amount on behalf of the "State
Treasurer" is added to clarify who accepts for the
State.

In subsection (b)(3) of this section, the present
reference to a release of a claim or satisfaction of
judgment being made "as though the same had been paid
in full" is omitted as superfluous.

Defined terms: "Collector" § 1-101
