Article - Family Law
Section 5-503
SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the Laws of Maryland
read as follows:
ARTICLE - CRIMINAL LAW
TITLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
SUBTITLE 1. DEFINITIONS.
1-101. DEFINITIONS.
(A) IN GENERAL.
IN THIS ARTICLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS INDICATED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added as the standard
introductory language to a definition section.
(B) CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.
"CORRECTIONAL FACILITY' HAS THE MEANING STATED IN § 1-101 OF THE
CORRECTIONAL SERVICES ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language substituted for the second
sentence of former Art. 27, § 643B(a).
(C) COUNTERFEIT.
"COUNTERFEIT" MEANS TO FORGE, COUNTERFEIT, MATERIALLY ALTER, OR
FALSELY MAKE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition
of the terms "forge", "materially alter", and "falsely make" and their
grammatical variations throughout this article.
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that the use of the defined term "counterfeit" to
cover the activities known to the common law as "forgery",
"counterfeiting", "material alteration", and "false making" includes both
altering a genuine document or object to make it false, and creating a new
false document or object. The Committee chose "counterfeit" rather than
"forge" as the all-encompassing term because the former term was the
more inclusive term at common law.
(D) COUNTY.
"COUNTY" MEANS A COUNTY OF THE STATE OR BALTIMORE CITY.
