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.
[An. Code 1957, art. 27, § 257(a)(4); 2002, ch. 26, § 2.]
