Article 6 - Caroline County
109. FORTUNE TELLING.
(A) PROHIBITED.
IN CAROLINE COUNTY, A PERSON MAY NOT DEMAND OR ACCEPT PAYMENT OR A
GRATUITY TO FORECAST OR FORETELL, OR PRETEND TO FORECAST OR FORETELL,
THE FUTURE OF ANOTHER PERSON BY:
(1) READING A CARD;
(2) READING THE PALM OF A HAND; OR

A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT IN THE CAROLINE COUNTY
DETENTION CENTER NOT EXCEEDING 6 MONTHS OR A FINE NOT EXCEEDING $100 OR
BOTH.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter 26, Acts of 2002, which enacted the Criminal Law
Article, also enacted this section, which is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 158A, as it related to fortune
telling in Caroline County.
In subsection (a) of this section, the term "payment" is substituted for the
former term "remuneration" for consistency with revised sections of the
Public General Laws.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the modifying phrase "of a hand" is
added after the former word "palm" for clarity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "the discretion of the
court" is deleted as implied by the setting of maximum penalties.
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the reference to the "Caroline County
Detention Center" is substituted for the former reference "county jail" for
clarity.
