(2) READING THE PALM OF A HAND; OR
(3) ANY OTHER SCHEME, PRACTICE, OR DEVICE.
(B) PENALTY
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT IN THE TALBOT 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 Talbot 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 "Talbot County
Detention Center" is substituted for the former reference to the "county
jail" for clarity.
Article 22 - Washington County
1-108.
(E) FUNDS — NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY NOT REDUCE IN THE COUNTY BUDGET THE
TOTAL AMOUNT OF APPROPRIATIONS TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS BELOW THE
TOTAL AMOUNT OF APPROPRIATIONS MADE TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE
BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter 26, Acts of 2002, which enacted the Criminal Law
Article, also added subsection (e) of this section, which is new language
derived without substantive change from former Art. 27, § 255C(q)(9).
This provision, initially enacted as part of Chapter 663, Acts of 1996,
legislation that modified the law governing the regulation of tip jars in
Washington County, apparently was intended to ensure that revenues
credited to Washington County Gaming Fund were not used to replace
other County contributions to nonprofit organizations in the County.
Because this provision was not directly related to the regulation of tip jars
— provisions codified in Part III of Title 13, Subtitle 23 of the Criminal
Law Article — Chapter 26, § 4, Acts of 2002, recodified this provision
