The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration of the
General Assembly, that, in §§ 11-102 through 11-105 of this subtitle, a violator is
subject to either imprisonment or a fine, but not both. In almost every other criminal
statute that allows punishment by imprisonment or a fine, a violator may be
sentenced to both imprisonment and fine.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 417(3).
