sum, if the General Assembly intends for subsection (e)(1) of this section to
create a mandatory minimum penalty of $25, it may wish to amend this
provision to expressly state that "notwithstanding Article 27, § 643 of the
Code, it is mandatory on the court to impose a penalty of no less than $25"
and that "the mandatory minimum penalty of $25 may not be suspended".
See also § 8-808 of this article and accompanying Revisor's Note.

In subsections (e)(1) and (f) of this section, the references to an "individual"
are substituted for the former references to a "person" because only a
human being, and not the other entities included in the defined term
"person", can testify before the Commission. See § 1-101 of this article for
the definition of "person".

In subsection (e)(2) of this section, the requirement that a fine "be paid
into" the General Fund of the State is substituted for the former
requirement that a fine "revert to" the General Fund of the State for
accuracy.

In subsection (f) of this section, the reference to being subject "on
conviction ... to the penalty established under Article 27, § 439 of the Code"
is added to state expressly that which was only implied in the former law.
