within this article. Currently, inmates are sentenced to the custody of a
unit such as the Division of Correction and then are placed in a particular
facility. See CS § 9-103.
In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to the "violation of this
section" is substituted for the former reference to the "[child] abuse", to
reflect the reorganization of material in this section.
Also in subsection (d) of this section, the former phrase "or acts" is deleted
in light of Art. 1, § 8, which provides that the singular generally includes
the plural.
Former Art. 27, § 35C(a)(3), which defined "child" to mean an individual
under the age of 18 years, is deleted because it is not used in the revision
of this section.
Defined terms: "Minor" § 1-101
"Person" § 1-101
3-602. SALE OF MINOR
(A) PROHIBITED.
A PERSON MAY NOT SELL, BARTER, OR TRADE, OR OFFER TO SELL, BARTER, OR
TRADE, A MINOR FOR MONEY, PROPERTY, OR ANYTHING ELSE OF VALUE.
(B) PENALTY.
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 5 YEARS OR A FINE
NOT EXCEEDING $10,000 OR BOTH FOR EACH VIOLATION.
(C) STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS AND IN BANC REVIEW.
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS SUBJECT TO § 5-106(B) OF THE
COURTS ARTICLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 35E.
In subsection (a) of this section, the defined term "minor" is substituted for
the former reference to a "child" for consistency within this article. See §
1-101 of this article.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to "real or
personal" property is deleted as surplusage.
In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to a violation being "subject
to § 5-106(b) of the Courts Article" is substituted for the former reference
to the violator being subject to imprisonment "in the penitentiary" for
clarity and consistency within this article. See General Revisor's Note to
article.
