IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER REMEDY PROVIDED UNDER THE CODE FOR A
VIOLATION OF THIS SUBTITLE, A PERSON MAY MAINTAIN A CIVIL ACTION FOR
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AGAINST ANOTHER PERSON WHO DENIES OR INTERFERES WITH
ADMITTANCE TO OR ENJOYMENT OF A PUBLIC PLACE, ACCOMMODATION, OR
CONVEYANCE DESCRIBED IN § 7-704 OF THIS SUBTITLE OR OTHERWISE INTERFERES
WITH THE RIGHTS OF A BLIND, VISUALLY IMPAIRED, DEAF, OR HARD OF HEARING
INDIVIDUAL UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 30, § 33(g).
Subsection (a) of this section is revised in standard language used to
establish a prohibited act and penalty.
In subsections (a)(1) and (b) of this section, the references to a "place,
accommodation, or conveyance described in § 7-706 of this subtitle" are
substituted for the former references to "public facilities enumerated in
this section" for clarity.
In subsections (a)(1) and (b) of this section, the references to rights under
"this subtitle" are substituted for the former references to rights under
"this section" to reflect the reorganization of provisions formerly contained
in Art. 30, § 33. Similarly, in subsection (b) of this section, the reference to
a violation of this "subtitle" is substituted for the former reference to this
"article" to reflect the reorganization of provisions formerly contained in
Article 30. No substantive change is intended.
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to any "persons,
firm, or corporation or the agent of any person or persons, firm, or
corporation," is deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to a
"person".
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to any "individual,
firm, or corporation, or the agent of any individual, firm, or corporation," is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to a "person".
As to the substitution of references to "visually impaired" individuals for
the former references to "the visually handicapped", the substitution of
references to "hard of hearing" individuals for the former references to
"hearing impaired" individuals, and the substitution of references to
"individuals" and an "individual" for the former references to "persons" and
a "person" in this section, see General Revisor's Note to subtitle.
