introductory language to a definition section.

(B) COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTION.

"COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTION" MEANS THE COMMISSIONER OF THE
DIVISION OF CORRECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition
of the full reference to "the Commissioner of the Division of Correction".

Defined term: "Division of Correction" § 1-101

(C) COMPTROLLER

"COMPTROLLER" MEANS THE COMPTROLLER OF THE STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language added to avoid repetition
of the full reference to "the Comptroller of the State".

(D) CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.

"CORRECTIONAL FACILITY" MEANS A FACILITY THAT IS OPERATED FOR THE
PURPOSE OF DETAINING OR CONFINING ADULTS WHO ARE CHARGED WITH OR
FOUND GUILTY OF A CRIME.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language that is derived from
former Art. 27, § 122A(a)(4) and, as it referred to jails and other places of
confinement or detention, § 704(a).

The former references to a "prison", "jail", "pre-release center", and
"halfway house" are deleted as included in the comprehensive reference to
a "facility that is operated for the purpose of detaining or confining adults
who are charged with or found guilty of a crime".

The former reference to a place of "legal" confinement is deleted as implicit
in the reference to a facility "that is operated, for the purpose of detaining
or confining adults who are charged with or found guilty of a crime".

The former reference to a facility "in this State" is deleted for consistency
throughout this article. See, e.g., 8 7-403(b) of this article, which refers to
an out-of-state correctional facility.

The definition of "correctional facility" in former Art. 27, § 122A(a)(4) was
applicable only to that section, which is revised in Title 8, Subtitle 8 of this
article. Similarly, the reference to "jails and other places used for
confinement or detention of adult offenders" in former Art. 27, § 704(a) was
applicable only to that section, which is revised in §§ 8-103, 8-104, and
