§ 17-113. Definitions.

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

** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   This subsection formerly was Art. 28, § 5-105.1(a)(1).

** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   In this subsection and throughout this part, the references to this "part" are substituted for the former references to this "section" to reflect the reorganization of material derived from former Art. 28, § 5-105.1.

** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   The only other changes are in style.

(b) Business. --

   (1) "Business" means a lawful activity conducted primarily:

      (i) for the purchase, sale, lease, or rental of property;

      (ii) for the manufacture, processing, or marketing of products or other personal property;

      (iii) for the sale of services to the public; or

      (iv) by a not-for-profit organization.

   (2) "Business" does not include a farm operation.

** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 28, § 5-105.1(a)(5).

** REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   In paragraph (1)(ii) of this subsection, the former reference to "commodities" is deleted as included in the reference to "products".

** DEFINED TERM:
 

   "Farm operation"                                                    § 17-113

**

(c) Displaced. -- "Displaced", with respect to a person, means moving from real property, or moving the person's personal property from real property: **

   (1) wholly or partly as a result of the Commission's acquisition of the real property; or **

   (2) as the result of a written order of the Commission to vacate the real property for a public works program or project the Commission undertakes.

REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 28, § 5-105.1(a)(4).

REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   In the introductory language to this subsection, the phrase "with respect to a person" is substituted for the former inclusion of the word "person" in the defined term "displaced person" because the source material did not consistently use the term as defined. See, e.g., former Art. 28, § 5-105.1(a)(2), which defined "relocation payment", revised as subsection (e) of this section.

REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   Also in the introductory language to this subsection, the former obsolete reference to moving "after July 1, 1975," is deleted because any moving for which a relocation payment may be made under this part will have taken place after that date.

REVISOR'S NOTE
 
   In item (1) of this subsection, the reference to acquisition of the "real" property is added for clarity.

DEFINED TERMS:
 

   "Commission"                                                        § 14-101
