6-402. TRESPASS ON POSTED PROPERTY.
(A) PROHIBITED.
A PERSON MAY NOT ENTER OR TRESPASS ON PROPERTY THAT IS POSTED
CONSPICUOUSLY AGAINST TRESPASS BY:
(1) SIGNS PLACED WHERE THEY REASONABLY MAY BE SEEN; OR
(2) . PAINT MARKS THAT:
(I) CONFORM WITH REGULATIONS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES ADOPTS UNDER § 5-209 OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES
ARTICLE; AND
(II) ARE MADE ON TREES OR POSTS THAT ARE LOCATED:
1. AT EACH ROAD ENTRANCE TO THE PROPERTY; AND
2. ADJACENT TO PUBLIC ROADWAYS, PUBLIC WATERWAYS,
AND OTHER LAND ADJOINING THE PROPERTY.
(B) PENALTY.
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 90 DAYS OR A FINE
NOT EXCEEDING $500 OR BOTH.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 577(a)(1) and (b).
In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the reference
to property being posted against "trespass" is substituted for the former
reference to property being posted against "trespassers" for clarity and
consistency within this subtitle.
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase "signs placed where they
reasonably may be seen" is substituted for the former phrase "[s]igns
where they may reasonably be seen" to clarify that the requirement that
signs be posted conspicuously applies to the location as well as the content
of the signs.
In subsection (a)(2)(i), the reference to regulations that the Department of
Natural Resources adopts "under § 5-209 of the Natural Resources Article"
is added for clarity.
For the statutory requirement that the Department of Natural Resources
adopt regulations that prescribe the type and color of paint to be used for
posting private property under the provisions of this section, see NR §
5-209(e). As to the content of the regulations, see COMAR 08.01.05.01.
Defined term: "Person" § 1-101
