substituted for the former reference to "falsely mak[ing], forg[ing] or
counterfeit[ing]" an instrument or document, although the defined term
also includes "materially alter[ing]" such a document. Any such "materially
altered" instrument or document would constitute a "counterfeit"
instrument or document under current law. No substantive change is
intended.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the intent of a person
to defraud "another" is substituted for the former reference to the intent of
a person to defraud "any person whomsoever" for consistency within this
subtitle.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to "procur[ing]"
another to commit forgery is deleted as included in the reference to
"caus[ing]" another to commit forgery.
In subsection (a)(1) and (4) of this section, the former references to a
"writing obligatory" are deleted as included in the references to a "bond".
In subsection (a)(3) and (4) of this section, the references to a "draft" are
substituted for the former references to a "bill of exchange", for consistency
with usage in the Commercial Law Article. See CL § .3-104 and Official
Comment to that section.
In subsection (a)(4) and (7) of this section, the former references to a
promissory note "for the payment of money or property" are deleted as
surplusage.
In subsection (a)(8) of this section, the reference to a "release or discharge"
is substituted for the former references to any "acquisition or receipt" for
clarity.
In subsection (a)(10) of this section, the former reference to a "document or
affidavit" of waiver or release is deleted as surplusage.
In subsection (a)(11) of this section, the former reference to a "testament" is
deleted as included in the reference to a "will".
