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

In subsections (a), (b), and (c)(2)(iii) of this section, the defined term
"Division" is substituted for the former references to "Department" and
"Department of Correction" for accuracy. See General Revisor's Note to this
subtitle.

In subsections (c)(1) and (d)(1) of this section, the former references to a
"superintendent" are deleted as obsolete. Currently, there are no
superintendent positions in the Division of Correction.

In subsection (c) of this section, the former reference to an inmate who is
"eligible to participate in the 'work-release' program in accordance with
the preceding subsection" is deleted as implicit in the reference to
"inmate".

In subsection (c)(2)(i) of this section, the former reference to an inmate's
agreement to abide by the terms and conditions of a plan that the
Commissioner adopts for the inmate "if [the inmate's] application is
approved" is deleted because it is implicit that the Commissioner will not
adopt a plan for the inmate unless the inmate's application has already
been approved.

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the reference to the Commissioner's
discretion to approve, disapprove, or defer action on the "application" is
substituted for the former reference to the Commissioner's discretion to
approve, disapprove, or defer action on the "recommendation" for accuracy.
