Article 38A - Fires and Investigations

8A.

(c) A judge of a court referred to in subsection (a) of
this section may issue the warrant on finding that:

(2) The scope of the proposed search is reasonable
and will not intrude unnecessarily on the fire victim's
privacy[:];

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects punctuation in Article 38A, §
8A(c)(2).

A colon was incorrectly substituted for a semicolon in
Ch. 512 of the Acts of the Regular Session of the
General Assembly of 1985.

The Michie Company noted the error in punctuation.

[46.] 43.

The governments of Kent and Queen Anne's counties may enact
a service award plan for the volunteer firemen in the counties
based on length of service. The plan shall become effective prior
to July 2, 1980.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: The renumbers Article 38A, § 46 to be
Article 38A, § 43, so that it will once again fall
under the subtitle "Volunteer Firefighters and Rescue
Squadmen".

Ch. 118 of the Acts of the Regular Session of the
General Assembly of 1985 interposed a new subtitle
between § 46 and the subtitle heading under which it
belongs. This renumbering will place the section
under its proper subtitle.

This correction was suggested by the Michie Company.

45C.

(a) Subject to the provisions of [subsections (b) and (c)]

Taxation shall certify to the Secretary for each county its total
percentage of agricultural, agricultural-residential,
residential, condominium, apartment, commercial, industrial, and
exempted property tax accounts, including vacant unimproved
