Public Safety and Correctional Services. To avoid an inconsistency between
subsection (b) of this section and § 7-804 of this article, subsection (a) of
this section does not prohibit the Secretary from exercising or performing
the duties specified in § 7-804 of this article. In this way, subsection (b) of
this section is technically narrower in scope than former Art. 41, §
4-104(c)(1). However, no substantive change is intended.

Defined terms: "Department" § 1-101
