A PERSON MAY NOT KNOWINGLY POSSESS, WITH UNLAWFUL INTENT, A
COUNTERFEIT TITLE TO A MOTOR VEHICLE.
(B) PENALTY.
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 3 YEARS OR A FINE
NOT EXCEEDING $1,000 OR BOTH.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 44(c).
In subsection (a) of this section, the defined term "counterfeit" is
substituted for the former reference to possessing a "forged, counterfeited,
or altered" title, although use of the defined term also includes a "falsely
made" title. Any such "materially altered" title would constitute a
"counterfeit" title under current law. In addition, the use of the defined
term "counterfeit" only includes a "materially" altered title rather than any
altered title. In order to prove fraud under current law, any such alteration
to a title must be material. No substantive change is intended.
Defined terms: "Counterfeit" § 1-101
"Person" § 1-101
8-604. POSSESSING OR ISSUING COUNTERFEIT UNITED STATES CURRENCY.
(A) PROHIBITED.
A PERSON MAY NOT KNOWINGLY POSSESS, WITH UNLAWFUL INTENT, OR ISSUE
COUNTERFEIT UNITED STATES CURRENCY
(B) PENALTY.
A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND
ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO IMPRISONMENT NOT EXCEEDING 3 YEARS OR A FINE
NOT EXCEEDING $1,000 OR BOTH.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 44(d).
In subsection (a) of this section, the defined term "counterfeit" is
substituted for the former reference to possessing "forged, counterfeit, or
altered" currency, although use of the defined term also includes "falsely
made" currency. Any such "materially altered" currency would constitute
"counterfeit" currency under current law. In addition, the use of the
defined term "counterfeit" only includes "materially" altered currency
rather than any altered currency. In order to prove fraud under current
law, any such alteration to currency must be material. No substantive
change is intended.
Also in subsection (a) of this section, the word "issue" is substituted for the
former word "utter" for consistency within this article.
