REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived .without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 695(a), (b), and (c).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to "maintained" is
substituted for the former reference to "prepared" for consistency with §§
3-601(d), 3-603, 3-604(a), 3-606, and 3-607(a) of this subtitle.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to except "as otherwise
provided in this subtitle" is substituted for the former limited reference to
the exceptions revised in subsection (b) of this section to reflect the other
exceptions found in this subtitle. See, e.g., §§ 3-604, 3-607, 3-608, and
3-609 of this subtitle.

In subsection (b)(7)(i) of this section, the reference to a State "unit" is
substituted for the former reference to a State "department or agency" for
consistency throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this
article.

Also in subsection (b)(7)(i) of this section, the former reference to a "State"
law enforcement agency is deleted as included in the reference to "any
State unit".

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (b)(7)(i) of this
section allows disclosure of a case record to an employee of the Patuxent
Institution only after the Division has received a written request for
disclosure. The General Assembly may wish to amend subsection (b) of this
section to allow disclosure of a case record to an employee of the Patuxent
Institution without a written request.
