REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as the
first through fifth sentences of Article 52A, §
12(a).

Throughout this section, the word "facility"     is

substituted for the phrase "institution    or

agency" to conform to the reference in § 6-116  of
this subtitle.

In subsection (a) of this section, the former
words "supervision" and "direction" are deleted
as unnecessary in light of the phrase "control
and general management".

In the introductory phrase of subsection (b) of
this section, the reference to "Title 3, Subtitle
8 of the Courts Article" is substituted for the
obsolete reference to "§ 5(c) {of Article
52A}", which was repealed by Ch. 554, Acts of
1975. Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the Courts Article
controls all juvenile causes including admission,
transfer, and discharge of children under the
jurisdiction of a court.
