LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 21

THE DIRECTOR SHALL SET STANDARDS FOR ADMISSION TO A
STATE FACILITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from the second clause
of former Article 59, § 8(d).

The defined term "State facility" is substituted
for the reference to a "public facility within
the jurisdiction of the Department", for clarity
and brevity.

The first clause of former Article 59, § 8(d),
which required the Director to supervise
generally the State facilities, is deleted as
unnecessary in light of § 10-401 of this
subtitle.

Defined terms: "Admission" § 10-101

"Director" § 10-101 "State facility" § 10-101
