(K) PUBLIC FACILITY.

"PUBLIC FACILITY" MEANS A FACILITY THAT IS OWNED BY OR
LEASED TO THIS STATE OR A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS
STATE, WHETHER OR NOT THE FACILITY IS MAINTAINED AND
OPERATED BY A PRIVATE, NONPROFIT PERSON.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as
Article 59A, § 3(r).

The defined term "person" is substituted for the
phrase "firm, association, corporation, or other
organization", for brevity.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Facility" § 7-101
"Person" § 1-101

(L) STATE FACILITY.

"STATE FACILITY" MEANS A PUBLIC FACILITY THAT IS
MAINTAINED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added
to avoid repetition of phrases such as "public
facility within the jurisdiction of the
Administration". This addition is based on
references to a "State facility" that appeared in
former Article 59A; see, e.g., former Article
59A, § 8A.

Defined terms: "Administration" § 7-101
"Public facility" § 7-101

(M) TREATMENT.

"TREATMENT" MEANS ANY EDUCATION, TRAINING, PROFESSIONAL
CARE OR ATTENTION, OR OTHER PROGRAM THAT IS GIVEN TO A
MENTALLY RETARDED INDIVIDUAL IN A FACILITY OR OTHER PLACE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as
the first clause of Article 59A, § 3(v).

The only changes are in style.

The second clause of former Article 59A, § 3(v),
which referred to "care, sustenance, and
supervision ... in a group home", is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the use of the defined
term "facility".

Defined terms: "Facility" § 7-101
"Mentally retarded individual" § 7-101
