2002 LAWS OF MARYLAND
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
(1) THE FAILURE TO FILE IS RECTIFIED AND ANY LATE FILING FEE IS
PAID; AND
(2) ANY SALARY PREVIOUSLY PAID TO THE INDIVIDUAL FOR THE
PUBLIC OFFICE WHILE THE INDIVIDUAL WAS IN VIOLATION IS RESTORED TO THE
STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVOLVED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 33, § 13-403(f).
In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to an "individual" is
substituted for the former reference to a "person" because only an
individual and not the other entities included in the defined term "person"
may hold public office.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "subject to prosecution
under § 13-335(b) of this subtitle" is substituted for the former phrase
"notified ... and has failed to file a report or statement ... failed to file a
report ... or failed to pay any late filing fee due" for brevity, clarity, and
consistency with § 13-335 of this subtitle.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former references to "subsection
(c) or (d) of this section" and "§ 13-401(a) of this subtitle and subsection (d)
or (i) of this section", are deleted as misleading and confusing.
In subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the references to the "State Board"
are substituted for the former references to the "board" for clarity and to
state explicitly that which formerly was implied by the requirements that
certain persons be provided notice regarding the failure to file certain
campaign finance reports and the requirement that an investigation and
hearing be held on the failure to file.
In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the phrase "each circumstance that
causes an individual to become subject to this section" is added for clarity.
In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the phrase "as
to that public office" is added for clarity.
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to the withholding of the
salary until "any salary previously paid ... is restored to the State or local
government involved" is substituted for the former reference to the
withholding "from future salary payments a sum or sums which equal any
amount previously paid" for clarity and accuracy.
Defined terms: "Campaign finance report" § 1-101
"State Board" § 1-101
13-335. REFERRAL FOR PROSECUTION.
(A) SHOW CAUSE NOTICE.
