§ 13-1301. Definitions  


Latest version.



  •    (a) In general. -- In this subtitle the following words have the meanings indicated.

    ** REVISOR'S NOTE
     
       This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from the introductory language of former Art. 27, § 258A(a).

    ** REVISOR'S NOTE
     
       In this subsection, the reference to this "subtitle" is substituted for the former reference to this "section", although this subtitle is derived, in part, from material outside former Art. 27, § 258A. Because the term "gaming event" defined in this section is used only in provisions that are derived from former Art. 27, § 255 and 258A, and in light of § 13-1303 of this subtitle, no substantive change results.

    (b) County commissioners. -- "County commissioners" means the Board of County Commissioners of Frederick County.

    ** REVISOR'S NOTE
     
       This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 27, § 258A(a)(1).

    ** REVISOR'S NOTE
     
       The defined term "county commissioners" is substituted for the former defined term "Board" for consistency within this title.

    (c) Gaming event. -- "Gaming event" includes a:

       (1) bazaar;

       (2) carnival;

       (3) raffle;

       (4) tip jar; and

       (5) punchboard.

    ** REVISOR'S NOTE
     
       This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 27, § 258A(a)(4).

    ** REVISOR'S NOTE
     
       The former reference to "other similar games of chance" is deleted in light of the use of the word "includes". See Art. 1, § 30.
