Ch. 31

RESIDENCE OR ORGANIZATION UNDER A LAW OF THAT STATE THAT IMPOSES
REQUIREMENTS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THOSE PRESCRIBED UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE.

(F) PENALTIES FOR VIOLATION OF SECTION.

A PERSON THAT VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT EXCEEDING $100 OR IMPRISONMENT
NOT EXCEEDING 30 DAYS OR BOTH.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 30, § 30A(e-l).

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to a permit "issued under this
section" is added for clarity.

In the introductory language of subsection (d) of this section, the former
reference to the fee "charged" for a permit or a renewal of a permit is deleted
as implicit.

In subsection (e)(1) of this section, the reference to each application "filed
under this section" is added for clarity.

In subsection (f) of this section, the reference to being "guilty of a
misdemeanor" is added to state expressly that which only was implied by the
reference, in the 8th sentence of former Art. 30, § 30A(e-l), to a "conviction".
Since violation of former § 30A(e-1) was not a felony at common law and has
not been declared a felony by statute, it is considered to be a misdemeanor.
See State v. Canova, 278 Md. 483, 490 (1976), and Dutton v. State, 123 Md.
373, 378 (1914).

Also in subsection (f) of this section, the reference to a "person that violates"
this section being "subject to" certain penalties is substituted for the former
reference to a "violation of this section being "punishable...by" those
penalties for clarity and to conform to current style.
