REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 33, § 15-107.
The reference to being "guilty of a misdemeanor" is added to state
expressly that which was only implied in the former law by the reference to
a "conviction". 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).
15- 111. SHORT TITLE.
THIS TITLE IS THE PUBLIC FINANCING ACT.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 33, § 15-110.
The only changes are in style.
