performed by the applicant" is deleted as implicit in the reference to "the
search" as used in this subsection.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the reference to a search conducted "in
accordance with a search warrant issued under this section" is added to
state expressly that which was only implied in the former law.

In subsection (e)(1) of this section, the phrase "from the date of issuance" is
added to state expressly that which was formerly only implied in the
phrase "not to exceed 30 days".

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that there is an inconsistency
between the use of the terms "dwelling" and "premises" in this section.
Under subsection (a), the Commissioner or Commissioner's designee may
apply for a search warrant to enter the "approved dwelling" of an inmate.
Subsection (b) requires the applicant to describe the "premises" to be
searched. Subsection (c) allows a judge to issue a search warrant when
obtaining consent to enter the "premises" may jeopardize an attempt to
take custody of the inmate. Subsection (d) requires a search warrant that
is issued under this section to specify the location of the "premises" to be
searched. The Committee is uncertain as to whether the words "dwelling"
and "premises" are synonymous or, alternatively, whether the word
"premises" has a broader meaning. The General Assembly may wish to
amend this section to use either "dwelling" or "premises" throughout the
entire section. See also § 6-109 of this article and accompanying Revisor's
Note.
