Every person who shall demand or accept any remuneration or gratuity for forecasting or foretelling or for pretending to forecast or foretell the future by cards, palm reading or any other scheme, practice or device shall be subject to punishment for a class B violation as set forth in section 1-19 of chapter 1 of the County Code; and in any warrant for a violation of the above provisions, it shall be sufficient to allege that the defendant forecast or foretold or pretended to forecast or foretell the future by a certain scheme, practice or device without setting forth the particular scheme, practice or device employed; provided, that this section shall not apply to any benefit performance or part thereof conducted pursuant to section 30-4 of this Code. (Mont. Co. Code 1965, § 16-7; 1983 L.M.C., ch. 22, § 41.)
Editor’s note—The Court of Appeals held Sec. 32-7 to be unconstitutional and unenforceable in Nefedro v. Montgomery County, 414 Md. 585, 996 A.2d 850 (2010), because it is not narrowly tailored to serve a governmental purpose. Previously, the validity of this section was sustained as not being in conflict with state law in Montgomery County v. Eli, 20 Md. App. 269, 315 A.2d 136 (1974).
