Notes
| [Note] | *Editor's note-Section 2 of 1997 L.M.C., ch. 29, reads as follows: "The enforcing agency, as defined in Section 3A-1 of the Code, as amended by Section 1, should inform alarm users and alarm businesses about the requirements and penalties of Chapter 3A of the Code, including changes to existing law made by this Act." Section 1 of 1993 L.M.C., ch. 14, enacted this chapter to read as set out in §§ 3A-1-3A-11. Sections 2 and 3 read as follows: "Sec. 2. Effective date. This Act [chapter] is effective on January 1, 1994, except that: (a) Section 3A-3 is effective September 1, 1993, except that a residential alarm user using their alarm system on September 1, 1993 must register under Section 3A-3 before November 1, 1993; (b) Section 3A-6(a) and Section 3A-6(b) [§ 3A-9(a), (b)] are effective September 1, 1993; and (c) Effective September 1, 1993, an alarm business must comply with procedures established by the County Executive by executive regulation under method (2) to: (1) issue a County alarm user registration form to any alarm user if the alarm business sells, installs, leases, maintains, monitors, repairs, replaces, services, or responds to the user's alarm system; and (2) return completed forms and registration fees to the County Executive or designee. "Sec. 3. Transition. (a) The County Executive must submit the first annual report required under Section 3A-11 by January 1, 1995. (b) The County Executive or designee must not permit a nonresidential alarm user to register under Section 3A-3 until that user has paid all unpaid alarm user permit fees from prior years and the following alarm user permit fees for alarm signals from the user's alarm system resulting in dispatch of a police officer between January 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993: (1) $30 for each alarm signal between 8 and 10; (2) $60 for each alarm signal between 11 and 15; (3) $100 for each alarm signal between 16 and 20; and (4) $250 for each alarm signal over 20." In some cases, existing provisions were retained but were given a different section number. In those cases, a complete history note has been given, and a note has been appended giving the former section number. Completely new material will carry reference only to 1993 L.M.C., ch. 14. |
