Ch. 5

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 442(k)(1), (3), and except as it related to
judicial review, (2).

In subsections (a)(1) and (c) of this section, the defined term "firearm
applicant" is substituted for the former term "aggrieved person" for clarity
and consistency.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the defined term "Secretary" is
substituted for the former term "State Police" because the Secretary has
the duty to decide applications under this subtitle.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "Title 10, Subtitle 2 of the
State Government Article" is substituted for the former reference to "the
Administrative Procedure Act" to state explicitly the law governing review
of the Secretary's decisions.

Defined terms: "County" § 1-101
"Firearm applicant" § 5-101
"Secretary" § 5-101

5-127. JUDICIAL REVIEW.
