(A) IN GENERAL.

THE COMMISSIONER AND GENERAL MANAGER SHALL ESTABLISH ' THE
COMPENSATION RATE FOR INMATE LABOR IN STATE USE INDUSTRIES, TAKING INTO
CONSIDERATION OTHER WAGE PAYMENTS AND INCENTIVES IN OTHER PROGRAMS.

(B) REGULATIONS GOVERNING PAYMENTS.

AFTER REVIEW BY THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE, THE COMMISSIONER AND
GENERAL MANAGER SHALL ADOPT REGULATIONS THAT GOVERN THE METHOD AND
TIME OF COMPENSATION PAYMENTS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 681F.

Subsection (b) of this section is revised to require review by the State Use
Industries Advisory Committee before the formal adoption of regulations to
state expressly that which was only implied in the former law, i.e., the
Advisory Committee must be provided with an opportunity to review the
proposed regulations before the adoption of the regulations.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "rules" and
regulations is deleted for consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (b) of this section
requires the Commissioner and the General Manager jointly to adopt
regulations. The Committee believes that the General Manager's role is
more properly to' "recommend" the adoption of regulations. The General

Assembly may wish to amend subsection (b) of this section to require that
the General Manager recommend proposed regulations to the
Commissioner and that the Commissioner adopt regulations. The
Committee further notes that the "regulations" that are required to be

adopted under this section have not been published in COMAR, but
appear in State Use Industries'internal documents.
