Ch. 5

2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

substituted for the former term "jail" for consistency with other revised
articles. See, e.g., the Correctional Services Article and Criminal Procedure
Article.

Also in subsection (c) of this section, the term "municipal corporation" is
substituted for the former term "city" to conform with terminology in the
Correctional Services Article relating to local correctional facilities. See CS
§ 1-101.

In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to a fine "collected under
subsection (c) of this section" is substituted for the former reference to a
fine "imposed on appeal from the judgment of the District Court" for
clarity. The Public Safety Article Review Committee notes that, although
the former law referred to an "appeal from a judgment", this more
accurately is an action to collect a fine previously imposed by a
court-martial.

Defined term: "County" § 1-101
