REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section formerly
appeared as Article 88A, § 103(d).

Subsection (b) of this section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Article 88A, §
104.

In subsection (a) of this section, the former phrase
"which shall include a report" is deleted as
repetitious of "report" and potentially confusing.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase
"explore and" is deleted as repetitious of the phrase
"attempt to secure".

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Battered spouse" § 4-513
