ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor                                Ch. 5

"FUND" MEANS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT FUND.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 41, § 4-101(a)(3).

The former phrase "established under this section" is deleted as
unnecessary in a definition. The Fund is established by § 4-302 of this
subtitle and that provision stands on its own as a substantive provision.

(1)      "LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT" MEANS EQUIPMENT USED FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT PURPOSES.

(2)      "LAW ENFORCEMENT EQUIPMENT" INCLUDES BODY ARMOR, CRIME

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 41, § 4-101(a)(5).

The only changes are in style.

"LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY" MEANS THE AGENCY OF A COUNTY OR
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION IN THE STATE THAT PERFORMS POLICE PROTECTION
FUNCTIONS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 41, § 4-101(a)(4).

because Baltimore City is included in the defined term "county". See §
1-101 of this article.
