7-501. RELEASE ON MANDATORY SUPERVISION.

THE DIVISION OF CORRECTION SHALL GRANT A CONDITIONAL RELEASE FROM
CONFINEMENT TO AN INMATE WHO:

(1) IS SERVING A TERM OF CONFINEMENT OF MORE THAN 12 MONTHS;

OF THE DIVISION OF CORRECTION; AND

(3) HAS SERVED THE TERM OR TERMS, LESS DIMINUTION CREDIT

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the first sentence of former Art. 41, § 4-501(13).

In the. introductory language of this section, the requirement that "[t]he
Division of Correction shall grant" a conditional release from confinement
to an inmate under the specified circumstances is added to state expressly
that which was only implied in the former law, i.e., the Division of
Correction is the entity that is responsible for granting the conditional
release an inmate is entitled, under the specified circumstances, to be
granted the conditional release.

Also in the introductory language of this section, the reference to
"confinement" is substituted for the former reference to "imprisonment" for
consistency within this section and throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

For a revision of the remainder of former Art. 41, § 4-501(13), see §
7-101(g) of this title.
