WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                      Ch. 11

The clarifying language was omitted from existing
language in Ch. 770 of the Acts of 1982.

The omission of the language was noted by an assistant
attorney general to the General Assembly.

710E.

The provisions of this subtitle shall not affect the
authority granted under §§ 645K through 645V or [705] § 705 of
this article, or any work release program created pursuant to
such authority. The counties may, with the approval of the
Secretary, convert any such work release program into a community
adult rehabilitation center subject to the provisions of this
subtitle; however, the provisions of § 710B (a) shall not apply
with respect to a converted work release program. The Secretary
shall, by rule, adopt procedures for the conversion of these
programs into community adult rehabilitation centers.

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects a stylistic error in a
cross-reference in Article 27, § 710E.

The stylistic error occurred in Ch. 234 of the Acts of
1976.

The stylistic error was noted by the Computer Division
of the Department of Legislative Reference.

orders to be directed to the Comptroller, who shall draw his
warrant upon the treasury for the amount thereof, as in law
provided. The several counties, cities and towns are,
respectively, authorized and empowered to make any and all
appropriations, assessments and levies necessary to enable them,
respectively, to pay the expenses and per diem payments which §§
719 to 726 authorize or direct them to pay, in case § 722 is

DRAFTER'S NOTE: This corrects an obsolete provision in
Article 27, § 726.
