The Advisory Board for Correction, Parole and
Probation was created by Chapter 401, Acts of
1970, to succeed the Advisory Board for Correc-
tion established by Chapter 123, Acts of 1962,
and the Advisory Board for Parole and Proba-
tion, established by Chapter 457, Acts of 1968.
The Board consists of seventeen members. Thir-
teen are appointed by the Secretary of Public
Safety and Correctional Services with the approv-
al of the Governor for four-year terms. The Dep-
uty Secretary for Public Safety and Correctional
Services, the Chairperson of the Maryland Parole
Commission, the Director of Parole and Proba-
tion, and the Commissioner of Correction serve
ex officio. The Governor designated the first
chairperson, but thereafter the Secretary of Public
Safety and Correctional Services, with the ap-
proval of the Governor, designates the chair-
person.
The function of the Advisory Board is to study
and observe procedures in and the development
and progress of the correction, parole, and proba-
tion systems in the State. The Board also makes
suggestions and gives advice regarding the State's
correction, parole, and probation systems to the
Secretary, the Deputy Secretary for Correctional
Services, the Commissioner of Correction, the
Board of Parole, and the Director of the Division
of Parole and Probation.
The Advisory Board has no budget. Its mem-
bers receive no compensation for their services,
but they may be reimbursed for necessary and
proper expenses incurred in their duties (Code
