of former Art. 27, § 255, as well as provisions derived from other material
on local gaming events.
The limitation "[e]xcept as otherwise provided in this title" is added to
reflect the recodification of other, more specific material relating to
individual counties derived from other provisions of former Art. 27, § 255
in other subtitles of this title, along with more specific material relating to
individual counties derived from other provisions of the former "Gaming"
subheading of Article 27. As a general rule of statutory construction, in the
case of conflicting provisions, the more specific provision prevails over the
more general provision. See, e.g., Dejarnette v. Fed'l Kemper Ins. Co., 299
Md. 708 (1984); Zellinger v. CDC Dev't Corp., 281 Md. 614 (1977).
Defined term: "County" § 1-101
13-203. GAMING EVENT WITHOUT PERSONAL BENEFIT — ALLOWED.
THIS TITLE AND TITLE 12 OF THIS ARTICLE DO NOT PROHIBIT A QUALIFIED
ORGANIZATION FROM CONDUCTING A GAMING EVENT FOR THE EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT
OF A QUALIFIED ORGANIZATION IF AN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS DOES
NOT:
(1) BENEFIT FINANCIALLY FROM THE GAMING EVENT UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE; OR
(2) RECEIVE ANY OF THE PROCEEDS FROM THE GAMING EVENT UNDER
THIS SUBTITLE FOR PERSONAL USE OR BENEFIT.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 255(b)(1).
The reference to "[t]his title and Title 12 of this article" is substituted for
the former reference to "this subtitle [sic]". Although Titles 12 and 13 of
this article contain material derived, in part, from outside the former
"Gaming" subheading of Article 27, the only other material contained in
these titles is derived from the former "Slot Machines" subheading of
Article 27. The organizations that may own and operate a slot machine in
specified counties are specifically set forth in Title 12, Subtitle 3 of this
article and this section does not expand the class of qualified organizations
that may own or operate a slot machine in any local jurisdiction. Therefore,
no substantive change is made.
The references to a gaming event held "under this subtitle" are added for
clarity.
In item (2) of this subsection, the former reference to being "paid" proceeds
is deleted as included in the reference to "receiv[ing] proceeds".
Defined terms; "Gaming event" § 13-201
"Qualified organization" § 13-201
