The Correctional Services Article Review Committee also notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (b)(7)(i) of this
section allows disclosure of a case record, on written request, to an
employee of a federal or local "law enforcement" unit but is silent as to
disclosure to an employee of a federal or local "correctional" unit. The
General Assembly may wish to amend subsection (b)(7)(i) of this section to
allow disclosure to an employee of a federal or local correctional unit if
disclosure is in furtherance of the employee's lawful duties. Compare §
4-209(e)(6) of this article; see also § 3-606 of this subtitle and
accompanying Revisor's Note.

In subsection (b)(7)(ii) of this section, the reference to a person who has
written authorization "for the disclosure" from the inmate is added to state
expressly that which was formerly only implied in the reference to "written
authorization".

In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to "adopt[ing]" regulations is
substituted for the former reference to "promulgat[ing]" regulations for
consistency throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this
article.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the former reference to "rules" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference to "regulations". See
General Revisor's Note to this article.

3-603. PROVIDING CASE RECORD TO PAROLE COMMISSION.

THE MANAGING OFFICIAL OF A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY SHALL PRESENT A
COPY OF AN INMATE'S CASE RECORD MAINTAINED UNDER § 3-601 OF THIS SUBTITLE,
OR A SUMMARY OF THE RECORD, TO THE MARYLAND PAROLE COMMISSION:

(1) BY THE TIME THE INMATE BECOMES ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE; AND

(2) AT OTHER TIMES ON REQUEST.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the second clause of the third sentence of former Art. 27, §
691(a).

This section is revised in the active voice to clarify that the managing
official of each correctional facility has the responsibility to present the
case record of each inmate to the Maryland Parole Commissioner.

In the introductory language of this section, the reference to the "case
record maintained under § 3-601 of this subtitle" is substituted for the
former reference to the "case and. institutional records" for clarity. See also
