Section 13-501 - Definitions.

§ 13-501. Definitions.
 

(a)  In general.- In this subtitle the following words have the meanings indicated. 
   
Revisor's Note.

This subsection is new language added as the standard introductory language to a definition section. 

(b)  Commissioner.- "Commissioner" means the Baltimore City Police Commissioner. 
   
Revisor's Note.

This subsection is new language added for brevity in repeated references to the Baltimore City Police Commissioner. 

(c)  Gaming event.- "Gaming event" means a carnival, bazaar, or raffle. 
   
Revisor's Note.

This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition of the phrase "carnival, bazaar, or raffle" and for consistency within this title. 

(d)  Raffle.- "Raffle" means one or more drawings from a single series of chances sold from chance books. 
   
Revisor's Note.

This subsection is new language derived without substantive change from former Art. 27, § 257(a)(4). 
 

Because the term "raffle" defined in this subsection is used only in the revision of material in which it originally appeared, its application to the entire subtitle does not constitute a substantive change. 
 

The reference to chances sold "from" chance books is substituted for the former reference to chances sold "by means of" chance books for brevity and clarity.
