may, on request, obtain a copy of a presentence investigation report under
subsection (a)(3) of this section includes "the defendant's attorney", but
does not include "the defendant". The General Assembly may wish to
consider whether "the defendant", as a matter of due process, should be
added to this list.

In the introductory language of subsection (b)(1) of this section, the former
reference to the circuit court "of [a] county" is deleted as implicit, in the
reference to the "circuit court".

In subsections (b)(1) and (c)(1) of this section, the references to a
presentence investigation "report" are added to state expressly that which
was only implied in the former references to a "presentence investigation"
and for consistency with subsection (a)(1)(i), (2), and (3) of this section.

6-113. REPORTS BY STATE'S ATTORNEYS.

THE DIVISION AND THE DIVISION OF CORRECTION SHALL KEEP THE REPORT
SUBMITTED UNDER ARTICLE 10, § 40A ON FILE SO THAT EACH UNIT HAS AN
ABSTRACT OF EACH CASE FOR WHICH APPLICATION FOR PAROLE MAY BE MADE
UNDER THIS ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-610 as it required reports from State's
Attorneys to be kept on file.

The reference to an application for parole made under "this article" (i.e.,
the Correctional Services Article) is technically broader than the former
reference to an application for parole made under "this article" (i.e., Art.
41). However, no substantive change is intended.
