REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-504(d).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to an "individual" is
substituted for the former reference to a "person" because only a human
being, and not the other entities included in the defined term "person", can
suffer personal physical injury or death.
