REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 145(d) and (h).
In the introductory language of subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the
former reference to "the issuer, a person or organization providing money,
goods, services or anything else of value, or any other" person is deleted as
included in the comprehensive reference to a "person". See § 1-101 of this
article.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to a "counterfeit" credit
card is substituted for the former reference to a "forged" credit card for
consistency within this article.
In subsection (b) of this section, the references to a "credit card" are
substituted for the former references to a "card" for consistency throughout
this subtitle.
