Editor’s note—2002 L.M.C., ch. 6, § 2, states: Transition. Until superseded, an Executive Regulation issued under Chapter 3 before the effective date of this Act [April 11, 2002] remains in effect to the extent the regulation is consistent with this Act. This Act does not apply to a violation of Chapter 3 that occurred before this Act took effect [April 11, 2002].
2002 L.M.C., ch. 6, § 1, repealed former § 3-10, “Abatement orders,” which was derived from 1975, L.M.C., ch. 17, § 1.
