HARRY HUGHES, Governor

2099

(H) NOTICE TO OTHER STATE.

ON DISMISSAL OR STAY OF PROCEEDINGS UNDER THIS SECTION, THE
COURT SHALL INFORM THE COURT FOUND TO BE THE MORE APPROPRIATE
FORUM OF THIS FACT, OR IF THE COURT WHICH WOULD HAVE JURISDICTION
IN THE OTHER STATE IS NOT CERTAINLY KNOWN, SHALL TRANSMIT THE
INFORMATION TO THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR OR OTHER APPROPRIATE
OFFICIAL FOR FORWARDING TO THE APPROPRIATE COURT.

(I) ACTION IF OTHER STATE DEFERS TO THIS STATE.

ANY COMMUNICATION RECEIVED FROM ANOTHER STATE INFORMING THIS
STATE OF A FINDING OF INCONVENIENT FORUM BECAUSE A COURT OF THIS
STATE IS THE MORE APPROPRIATE FORUM SHALL BE FILED IN THE CUSTODY
REGISTRY OF THE APPROPRIATE COURT. ON ASSUMING JURISDICTION, THE
COURT OF THIS STATE SHALL INFORM THE ORIGINAL COURT OF THIS FACT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Article
16, § 189.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the words "the
child's" are substituted for the former word "his" in
light of Article 40, § 53C of the Code, which calls
for "the use of words that are neutral as to gender".

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the former term
"relationship" is returned to the plural form for
clarity and to conform to the Uniform Act as
promulgated to the states.

In subsection (c)(5) of this section, a
cross-reference is conformed to the organization of
this subtitle.

In subsection (e) of this section, the words "the
party's" are substituted for the former word "his" in
light of Article 40, § 53C of the Code, which calls
for "the use of words that are neutral as to gender".

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Contestant" § 9-201

"Custody determination" § 9-201
