REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-1401(a) through (e).

In subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the word "individuals" is
substituted for the former word "persons" to reflect the fact that other
entities included in the defined term "person" cannot be incarcerated. See
§ 1-101 of this article for the definition of "person".

In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to a "local correctional
facility" is substituted for the former obsolete reference to the "Baltimore
City Jail":

In subsection (e) of this section, the reference to the "public" is substituted
for the former reference to the "citizens of Baltimore City" for consistency
throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.

Former Art. 41, § 4-1401(f), which related to preparation for the
establishment of a new agency, is deleted as obsolete.

Defined terms: "Division" § 5-101
