REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to indicate that a
reference in this article to a "county" includes Baltimore City unless the
reference specifically provides otherwise.
Article 1, § 14(a) provides that "county" includes Baltimore City "unless
such construction would be unreasonable". Because the word
"unreasonable" in that section has been interpreted in various ways, the
Criminal Law Article Review Committee decided that an explicit definition
of "county" should be included in this article.
(E) INMATE.
"INMATE" HAS THE MEANING STATED IN § 1-101 OF THE CORRECTIONAL
SERVICES ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added for consistency with
the Correctional Services Article.
(F) LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.
"LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY" HAS THE MEANING STATED IN § 1-101 OF
THE CORRECTIONAL SERVICES ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added for consistency with
the Correctional Services Article.
(G) MINOR
"MINOR" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, §§ 416A(b) and 419A(a).
Article 1, § 24(b)(2) provides that "minor", "as it pertains to legal age and
capacity", refers to individuals under the age of 18 years. Because the term
"minor" is used in this article to refer both to potential criminal defendants
and to potential victims, the reference to "legal age and capacity" may
inappropriately limit the application of a criminal statute that uses the
term. The Criminal Law Article Review Committee decided that an explicit
definition of "minor" should be included in this article. Therefore, former
Art. 27, §§ 416A(b) and 419A(a) are revised in this subsection to apply
throughout this article, even though Art. 27, § 416A(b) formerly applied
only to those provisions now in Title 11, Subtitle 1 of this article and Art.
27, § 419A(a) formerly applied only to those provisions now in Title 11,
Subtitle 2 of this article.
(H) PERSON.
"PERSON" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL, SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP, PARTNERSHIP,
FIRM, ASSOCIATION, CORPORATION, OR OTHER ENTITY,
