Ch. 26
PARRIS N. GLENDENING, Governor
(G) FAILURE TO CLEAN AFTER CONTACT WITH A DAIRY PRODUCT. (1) A PERSON WHO RECEIVES A REGISTERED RETURNABLE CONTAINER
THAT HAS COME INTO IMMEDIATE CONTACT WITH A DAIRY PRODUCT SHALL
THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE CONTAINER IMMEDIATELY AFTER
EMPTYING THE CONTENTS. (2) A.PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SUBSECTION IS GUILTY OF A
MISDEMEANOR AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A FINE OF $1. 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, §§ 477, 474 as it related to
prohibitions concerning returnable containers and textiles, and, as it
related to prohibited acts under this subtitle, 479. Throughout this section, the reference to the penalty that a person "shall
forfeit" certain property is substituted for the former references to a "court
imposing the punishment therein prescribed" by awarding possession of
certain property for brevity and clarity. Also throughout this section, the former references to the requirement that

or such clean articles" as a precondition to the prohibition against using a
returnable container are deleted as implicit in the reference to the

for the former references to an "offense" for consistency with the Criminal
Law Article. See General Revisor's Note to the Criminal Law Article. Also throughout this section, the former references to "a second or
subsequent" offense are deleted as implicit in the references to "each
subsequent violation". Also throughout this section, the former references to "the discretion of the
court" are deleted as implicit in the establishment of maximum penalties. Also throughout this section, the former references to a "rightful ... dealer"
are deleted as implicit in the references to a "rightful owner". In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to a "registered"

textiles "mentioned in this subtitle so marked or designated as provided
herein" for brevity, clarity, and consistency within this subtitle. Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to "fill[ing]" a
returnable container is deleted as implicit in the reference to "us[ing]" a
returnable container.
Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to using a
