HARRY HUGHES, Governor

13

It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation
including any retail service station dealer, special fuel user,
special fuel seller, or distributor of motor vehicle fuel to
receive and accept any shipment of motor vehicle fuel from any
licensed dealer or special fuel seller, or to pay for the same,
or to sell or offer same for sale, unless the statement provided
for in § 143 appears upon the invoice of said shipment. If any
such shipment is received by any person, firm or corporation
including any retail service station dealer, special fuel user,
special fuel seller, or distributor, from any licensed dealer or
special fuel seller or is sold or offered for sale by him or
them, upon the invoice of which said statement does not appear,
such person, firm or corporation including any retail service
station dealer, special fuel user, special fuel seller, or
distributor shall pay to the Comptroller the tax herein imposed
or be liable to the State of Maryland for double the amount of
the tax, which tax may be recovered by civil suit or action in
any court of competent jurisdiction.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This provision is included to resolve
questions raised by the Attorney General's May 17,
1985 bill review letter to the Governor regarding the
adequacy of the title of Chapter 607 (House Bill 310)
of the Acts of the Regular Session of 1985. That
letter suggested that the title of House Bill 310
improperly indicated that the requirement that a
statement of motor vehicle fuel tax liability be
attached to each invoice was being deleted by that
bill. In fact, the bill provided that the statement,
initially required in shipments only in intrastate
commerce, is to be required in all shipments, whether
intrastate or interstate. The title of this Curative
Bill reflects the amended provision, as shown above.
