Ch. 2

LAWS OF MARYLAND

(1)  IS SELF-PROPELLED;

(2)  IS DESIGNED TO BE OPERATED ON A PUBLIC HIGHWAY;
AND

(3)  IS NOT OPERATED ONLY ON RAILS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language that
repeats the provisions of present Art. 56, § 135(a).

The present reference to "every device in ... or by
which any person or property is ... transported or
drawn upon the public highways" is omitted as
surplusage.

The present phrase "by human or muscular power" is
omitted as unnecessary in light of the reference to
"self-propelled".

The present word "tracks" is omitted as included in
the word "rails".

(G) SPECIAL FUEL.

(1)  "SPECIAL FUEL" MEANS A PRODUCT THAT IS USABLE AS
FUEL IN A COMPRESSION OR SPARKED IGNITED INTERNAL COMBUSTION
ENGINE.

(2)  "SPECIAL FUEL" DOES NOT INCLUDE GASOLINE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language that
repeats the provisions of present Art. 56, § 135(r)
and the second clause of the first sentence of (b).

Present Art. 56, § 135(r) defines the term "special
fuel" in terms of "motor vehicle fuel", which, under
present § 135(b), is limited to "fuel capable of the
propulsion of motor vehicles". That limitation is
omitted in this subsection since special fuels are, in
fact, usable for other purposes, although not taxed if
so used. See § 9-303(b)(2) of this title.

Defined term: "Gasoline" § 9-101

(H) TURBINE FUEL.

"TURBINE FUEL" MEANS JET A, A-l, OR B FUEL THAT IS USED TO
PROPEL TURBINE POWERED AIRCRAFT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as Art.
56, § 135(n).

The only changes are in style.
