The terms defined in this section do not appear in, or do not differ in substance from, the terms used in material derived from outside of former Art. 27, § 251C. No substantive change is intended.

(b) County commissioners.- "County commissioners" means the Board of County Commissioners of Queen Anne's County.

Revisor's Note.

(d) Raffle.-

(1) "Raffle" means a lottery in which a prize is won by a person who buys a paper chance.
