REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
59A, § 19F(h) and (i).

In subsection (b)(2)(ii) and (vi) of this
section, the term "administrative head" is
substituted for the references to the
"superintendent or director of" a facility, to
standardize the references to this position. See
revisor's note to § 7-204(c) of this title.
