738                                              LAWS OF MARYLAND                                      Ch. 11

In light of this definition, phrases such as "but not
limited to" are deleted throughout this Division I of
this article as superfluous.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
emphasizes, however, that the absence of a like
definition in a previously revised article of the Code
does not mean that "includes" or "including" is used
there in any different sense or that a different
legislative intent is implied by the absence of
phrases such as "but not limited to". In these
revised articles of the Code, the maxim expressio
unius est exclusio alterius and doctrines of similar
implication are not intended in any way to be made
applicable by reason of the deletion of such phrases.

(D)  PERSON.

"PERSON" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL, RECEIVER, TRUSTEE, GUARDIAN,
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE, FIDUCIARY, OR REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY KIND
AND ANY PARTNERSHIP, FIRM, ASSOCIATION, CORPORATION, OR OTHER
ENTITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
set forth a broad definition of the word "person" as
used in this Division I of this article.

As to the term "personal representative", see Art. 1,
§ 5 of the Code.

(E)  STATE.
"STATE" MEANS:

STATES;

(1)  A STATE, POSSESSION, OR TERRITORY OF THE UNITED

(2)  THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA; OR

(3)  THE COMMONWEALTH OF PUERTO RICO.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to
avoid repetition of phrases such as "state,
possession, territory, the District of Columbia, or
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico" and to standardize
similar references throughout this Division I of this
article.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code, in
revising this Division I of this article, found in the
former law many different descriptions of other
jurisdictions outside of the State. On examination,
the Commission determined that these apparent
differences did not reflect legislative intent.
Therefore, the Commission uniformly applied this
