REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive

considered to be a misdemeanor. See State v. Canova, 278 Md. 483, 490
(1976), Bowser v. State, 136 Md. 342, 345 (1920), Dutton v. State, 123 Md.
373, 378 (1914), and Williams v. State, 4 Md. App. 342, 347 (1968).
Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "in the discretion of
the court" is deleted as implicit in the establishment of maximum
penalties.
