In subsections (a)(2) and (c) of this section, the references to a "unit" of a
county or municipal corporation are substituted for the former references
to a county or municipal "authority" for consistency within this article. See

the reference to a governmental or law enforcement "unit" is substituted
for the former reference to a governmental or law enforcement "agency".
In subsection (a)(3) of this section, the defined term "owner's real property"
is substituted for the former defined term "real property" for clarity and
accuracy.
In subsections (c)(2) and (d) of this section, the references to the "dog
owner" are substituted for the former references to the "owner" for clarity.
In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to a "municipal corporation"
is substituted for the former reference to a "municipality" for consistency
with Md. Constitution, Art. XI-E.
In subsection (e) of this section, the defined term "person" is substituted
for the former word "owner" for consistency within this article.
Former Art. 27, § 70E (a)(3) which defined "owner" to mean "any person or
local entity that has a possessory right in a dog" is deleted as surplusage.
