LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

In subsection (b) of this section, reference to a
"delinquent act" is substituted for
"delinquency", to conform to the terminology in
the Courts Article.

Also in subsection (b) of this section and the
reference to "a charge that is or could be
adjudicated as a delinquent act", note that CJ §
3-815(d) prohibits detention of a child alleged
to be delinquent with children so adjudicated.
In practice, the Center is divided into 2 units
to keep these children separated.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the
former reference to a child in "need of
supervision" is deleted in light of CJ §
3-815(e), which prohibits any detention of a
child in need of supervision or in need of
assistance.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the
reference to an order for detention "by a court
of competent jurisdiction" is substituted for the
reference to filing "a formal petition ... in the
proper circuit court or juvenile court and
{having} detention ordered thereunder", since
the provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the
Courts Article govern the procedures for
obtaining a detention order.

Also in subsection (d)(2) of this section, the
reference to "the period permitted under
paragraph (1)" is substituted for the reference
to "the twenty-four-hour period ..." to reflect
the allowance for Saturdays, Sundays, and
holidays in subsection (d)(1) of this section.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined term: "Administration" § 6-101
