LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

APPROPRIATION, GIFT, OR GRANT, CONTRACT FOR THE
ESTABLISHMENT AND OPERATION OF FACILITIES THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERS NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE FOR THE
CUSTODY, CARE, TREATMENT, AFTERCARE, AND REHABILITATION OF
DRUG ABUSERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THE ADMINISTRATION UNDER
THIS TITLE, INCLUDING BUILDING AND STAFFING THE FACILITIES.

(D) ADMINISTRATION FACILITIES NOT CORRECTIONAL
INSTITUTIONS.

A FACILITY THAT THE    ADMINISTRATION OPERATES OR

CONTRACTS TO BE OPERATED IS A    HEALTH FACILITY UNDER THE

DEPARTMENT AND IS NOT, FOR    ANY PURPOSE, A CORRECTIONAL
INSTITUTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article
43B, § 5(h), as that subsection related to
constructing and staffing facilities, (i), (3),
(k), and (p), as that subsection related to the
administrative head of certain facilities, § 8,
and the second sentence of § 19(a).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the defined
term "drug abuser{s}" is substituted for
"persons exhibiting the effects of drug abuse",
for brevity.

Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the
former reference to services and facilities
"within the State" is deleted as unnecessary.

Subsection (a)(2) of this section, which is
derived from the second sentence of former
Article 43B, § 19(a), is rephrased to state

expressly that the Administration must adopt
these rules and regulations. See also § 9-404 of
this subtitle.

In subsection (a)(2)(ii) of this section, the
references to "inpatient care" and "aftercare"
are substituted for the references to
"hospitalization" and "post-hospitalization", to
conform to the terminology used elsewhere in this
article.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the
reference to an "administrative head" of a
facility is substituted for the reference to a
"director", to avoid confusion with references to
the Director of the Administration and to
standardize the references to this type of
position.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the word
