TASK FORCE COMMENT ON § 12-112.

This section is new to this title on the recommendation of
the Governor's Task Force to Review the Defense of Insanity.

Subsection (a) of this section is new to this title but
conforms to present procedures related to the type of report
required at the time of a civil commitment under title 10 of
this article.

In subsection (b) of this section, paragraph (1) and the
first clause of paragraph (2) are new provisions added to
require that the court, State's attorney, and committed
individual's counsel be notified any time there is a
significant change in the security status of the committed
individual. The Task Force believes this procedure will
enable notification to individuals who appropriately should
receive notice any time a committed individual is free of
confinement.

Subsection (c) of this section is a new provision added to
require the recording and tracking of information about
committed individuals similar to that recorded for other
