In subsection (b)(4) of this section, reference
to a "subpoena for any person or evidence" is
substituted for "summons for the attendance of
witnesses and the production of documents and
other tangible evidence", for brevity and
conformity to similar provisions elsewhere in
this article.

In subsection (b)(5) of this section, the former
reference to "reports" is deleted as unnecessary
in light of the broad reference to "record".

In subsection (c)(3) of this section, the term
"evaluation report" is substituted for "reports
of the examination and evaluation" to conform to
other references in this title that indicate
there is one report. See, e.g., subsection
(a)(2) of this section.

In subsection (d)(l)(i) of this section,
reference to evidence "received" is substituted
for "presented", to clarify the scope of the
summary.

In subsection (d)(1)(ii) of this section, a list
of the issues on which recommendations are
required is substituted for the phrase
"recommendations as to each issue to be decided
by the court", for clarity. See § 12-110(a)(l)
of this title. As to the addition of the
references "mentally retarded" and "mental
retardation", see revisor's note to § 12-101(f)
of this title.

Subsection (d)(1)(iii) of this section is revised
to state that timely filing of written exceptions
is required. However, the former reference to
"request a hearing" is deleted since exceptions
may be filed, although the hearing is waived.
See § 12-112 of this title.

In subsection (d)(2)(v) of this section,
"evaluation facility" is substituted for
"examining facility", to conform to references
elsewhere in this title.

The Commission to Revise the Annotated Code
notes, for consideration by the General Assembly,
that the second sentence of former Article 59, §
27A(d) appeared to prohibit transcription of the
record without a court order and, thus, is
revised as a prohibition in subsection (c)(2) of
this section. However, in practice, courts
usually do not order a transcript. Rather, the
