employer who "puts" material in a workplace is deleted as included in the
reference to "exhibit".
Also in subsection (a)(8) of this section, the former reference to a "handbill
or placard" is deleted in light of the prohibition against a "threat, a notice,
or information".
Also in subsection (a)(8) of this section, the former reference to a workplace
"where his employees are engaged in labor" is deleted in light of the
reference to the "employer's" workplace.
In subsection (a)(9) of this section, the former reference to a "campaign
advertisement" is deleted as superfluous in light of the use of the defined
term "campaign material" and the reference to § 13-401 of this title. See §
1-101 of this article and § 13-401 of this title.
In subsection (a)(10) of this section, the former reference to "promot[ing]" a
liability is deleted as redundant in light of the reference to the candidate
"incurr[ing]" a liability from the candidate's personal funds.
In subsection (b) of this section, the references to being "guilty of a
misdemeanor" and a "conviction" are added to state expressly that which
was only implied in the former law. In this State, any crime that was not a
felony at common law and has not been declared a felony by statute, is
considered to be a misdemeanor. See State v. Canova, 278 Md. 483, 490
(1976), Bowser v. State, 136 Md. 342, 345 (1920), Dutton v. State, 123 Md.
373, 378 (1914), and Williams v. State, 4 Md. App. 342, 347 (1968).
In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former reference to "the regular
course of criminal procedure" is deleted as unnecessary.
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the former reference to "Baltimore City"
is deleted as included in the definition of "county". See § 1-101 of this
article.
Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, with reference to the State's
Attorney, the word "may" is substituted for the former reference to "shall
be the duty of" because in the context of this subsection the requirement is
deemed to be directory and not mandatory.
