A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SECTION IS GUILTY OF A MISDEMEANOR AND

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language added to
avoid repetition throughout this section of the former references in Art. 27,
§ 56 to tickets, coupons, tokens, coins, discs, or slugs.
Subsections (b) and (c) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 56.
In subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the word "issue" is substituted for
the former references to "utter[ing]" for consistency within this article.
In subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to a "fare" is deleted
as included in the comprehensive reference to a "fee".
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to an "individual" is
substituted for the former reference to a "person" because only an
individual and not the other kinds of entities included in the definition of
"person" can enter, leave, ride upon, or pass through or over places and
things.
Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to a person "or
persons" is deleted in light of Art. 1, § 8, which provides that the singular
generally includes the plural.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to a token intended to be
"given to" a collector is substituted for the former reference to a token
