REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b)(2)(ii) of this
section are new language added to state expressly that
a licensee must conform to the Comptroller's
regulations regarding license display and labeling of
vending machines, respectively.

Subsection (b)(1) and (2)(i) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from the
first and second sentences of former Art. 81, § 444
1/2.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to
"the tax stamps required in § 12-304 of the Tax -
General Article" is substituted for the former
reference to "Maryland cigarette tax", for clarity.
