Ch. 5

(2) IN ST. MARY'S COUNTY A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS
GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A FINE NOT
EXCEEDING $1,000.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter 5, Acts of 2003, which enacted the Public Safety
Article, also enacted this section, which is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 268C and, as it related to target
practice or discharging a gun or weapon, § 268B.

The balance of former Art. 27, § 268B is revised in § 10-411 of the Natural
Resources Article.

In subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to the "landowner's
agent or lessee" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the general reference
to the "owner or possessor of the land".

In subsection (b)(1)(i)1 of this section, the former phrase "by the judge of
the District Court" is deleted as implicit in the reference to being subject to
a fine.

In subsection (b)(1)(i)2 of this section, the former reference to a "second"
conviction is deleted as included in the reference to a conviction for a
"subsequent" violation.

Also in subsection (b)(1)(i)2 of this section, the second clause of the fourth
sentence of former Art. 27, § 268B, which provided for the right to appeal to
the Circuit Court within 30 days after the date of conviction in the District
Court, is deleted as unnecessary in light of the rules of appellate
procedure. See CJ § 12-401.

Defined term: "Person" § 1-101
