(F) FALSE STATEMENT.

A WITNESS WHO MAKES A FALSE STATEMENT RELATING TO A MATTER THAT IS
MATERIAL TO THE COMMISSION'S INQUIRY WHILE TESTIFYING BEFORE THE
COMMISSION IS GUILTY OF PERJURY AND ON CONVICTION IS SUBJECT TO THE
PENALTY ESTABLISHED UNDER ARTICLE 27, § 439 OF THE CODE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 700G(b) and (c) and former Art. 41, §§
4-504(a) and 4-606, as it related to the Maryland Parole Commission.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to authority to "enter into"
predetermined parole release agreements is added for consistency with
subsection (b) of this section. Correspondingly, the phrase "as provided
under subsection (b) of this section" is also added.

In subsection (a)(3)(i) of this section, the reference to the "appropriate
managing official" is substituted for the former reference to the "warden"
to reflect the current structure of the Division of Correction, which
includes pre-release facilities that are managed by "facility
administrators".

Also in subsection (a)(3)(i) of this section, the former reference to the
"superintendent" is deleted as obsolete. Currently, there are no
superintendent positions in the Division of Correction.

In subsection (a)(6) of this section, the reference to a term "of
imprisonment" is added for consistency throughout this article. See
General Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in subsection (a)(6) of this section, the reference to a correctional
facility "of a jurisdiction other than this State" is substituted for the former
reference to a correctional facility "in a foreign jurisdiction" for clarity.

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that the meaning of the reference
to "cases of parole suspension" in subsection (a)(7) of this section is unclear.
The Commission does not hold hearings for "parole suspension". The
General Assembly may wish to delete the reference to "cases of parole
suspension" in subsection (a)(7) to reflect current practice.

In subsection (a)(8) of this section, the reference to an "alleged" violation of
a conditional pardon is added to state expressly that which was formerly
only implied in the reference to a "violation" of a conditional pardon.

Also in subsection (a)(8) of this section, the former reference to a violation
"of conditions" of a conditional pardon is deleted as implicit in the
reference to a violation of "a conditional pardon".

In subsection (b)(1)(i) of this section, the reference to the "Commissioner of
Correction" is added for consistency with the definition of "predetermined
parole release agreement" in § 7-101(1) of this title.
