REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 700(k)(1).

The reference to diminution credits that were "awarded" is substituted for
the former reference to diminution credits that were "allowed" for
consistency with §§ 3-709 and 11-507 of this article.

Former Art. 27, § 700(k)(2), which provided that this section does not apply
to future credits, is deleted as unnecessary. By its terms, former Art. 27, §
700(k)(l), which is revised in this section, did not apply to diminution
credits earned following an inmate's return to the Division of Correction.

Defined terms: "Division" § 3-101
"Inmate" § 1-101
"Term of confinement" § 3-701
