REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a)(1), (2)(i), and (3)(i)
and (iii) and (b) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from
former Article 43B, § 9(n)(l) and the first
sentence of (2) and the first sentence of §
12(c), as that sentence related to duration of
commitments.

Subsection (a)(2)(ii) of this section is new
language derived without substantive change from
the last clause of former Article 43B, § 5(1) and
the first sentence of § 14(c).

Subsection (a)(3)(ii) of this section is new
language added to reflect that a court may
terminate a commitment. See, e.g., §§
9-648(c)(2), 9-651, and 9-652 of this subtitle.

This section is revised to apply to all
commitments under this subtitle. See revisor's
note to § 9-601 of this subtitle.

The sixth sentence of former Article 43B, §
12(c), which provided a commitment could not
exceed 5 years, is deleted as unnecessary in
light of subsection (a)(3) of this section.

Defined terms: "Administration" § 9-101
"Person" § 1-101

(2)  THE DIVISION OF PAROLE AND PROBATION SHALL
