(3) A PERSON WHO VIOLATES THIS SUBSECTION IS GUILTY OF A
MISDEMEANOR AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO A PENALTY NOT EXCEEDING
$1,500.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) of this section is new language added as
the standard introductory language to a definition section.
Subsection (a)(2) of this section is new language added to avoid repetition
of the full reference to the "Maryland Long-Term Care Ombudsman
Program".
Subsections (a)(3) and (b) through (g) of this section are new language
derived without substantive change from former Art. 70B, § 5(c) through
(f) and, as it defined "related institution", (a).
Subsection (b) of this section is revised in standard language for
consistency with similar provisions throughout this article.
In subsection (c)(2)(ii) of this section, the defined term "area agency" is
substituted for the former reference to a "local office on aging" for
consistency throughout this title.
In subsection (d)(6) of this section, the former reference to "files" is deleted
in light of the reference to "records".
In the introductory language of subsection (e) of this section, the word
"highest" is substituted for the former incorrect word "higher".
The Human Services Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that although the term "nursing home" is used in
subsections (d)(8) and (e)(3) of this section, the term is not defined. The
General Assembly may wish to define the term for purposes of this section.
Defined terms: "Area agency" § 10-101
"Department" § 10-101
"Person" § 1-101
"Secretary" § 10-101
