REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter 26, Acts of 2002, which enacted the Criminal Law
Article, also added this section, which is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 233B.
In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a "harness" race is
substituted for the former reference to a "trotting" race for consistency
within this title.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a name other than
"that" registered is substituted for the former reference to the "name or
designation" registered for brevity.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to a name or
designation "assigned to the horse by" the Jockey Club or the United
States Trotting Association is deleted because the Jockey Club registers,
but does not name, a horse, and the United States Trotting Association
assigns a name to (and then registers) a horse from a list of three names
submitted by the owner.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to "instigat[ing],
engaging] in, or in any way furthering]" a prohibited act under this
section is deleted because under Maryland law, there is no distinction
between an accessory to a misdemeanor and a principal. See, e.g., Fabian v.
State, 235 Md. 306, 317 (1963); see, also, CP § 4-204.
Defined terms: "Harness racing" § 11-101
"Person" § 1-101
11-1003. FRAUD — PARI-MUTUEL BETTING TICKETS.
(A) PROHIBITED.
A PERSON MAY NOT KNOWINGLY PRESENT FOR PAYOFF, OR GIVE TO ANOTHER
TO PRESENT FOR PAYOFF, A COUNTERFEIT OR ALTERED PARI-MUTUEL BETTING
TICKET.
(B) PENALTY.
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 1 YEAR OR A FINE
NOT EXCEEDING $1,000 OR BOTH.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter 26, Acts of 2002, which enacted the Criminal Law
Article, also added this section, which is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 233C.
In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a "betting" ticket is added
for clarity and consistency within this title.
