(3) OF THE PUNISHMENT IMPOSED ON THE INDIVIDUAL FOR VIOLATING
A CONDITION OF PAROLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-511(f).

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that the meaning of the reference
to a "request for notification under § 7-801(b)(l)(ii) of this subtitle" in the
introductory language of this section is unclear. The Committee is
uncertain as to whether this means a generic "request for notification", a
specific "request for notification of a parole hearing", or a specific "request
for notification of a parole violation". The General Assembly may wish to
clarify this issue. For a more detailed discussion of this issue, see §
7-801(b)(l)(ii) of this subtitle and accompanying Revisor's Note.

In item (1) of this section, the reference to "a condition of" parole is added
to state expressly that which was formerly only implied in the reference to
"parole" and for consistency with items (2) and (3) of this section.

In item (2) of this section, the former reference to an "inmate released on
parole" is deleted as implicit in the reference to an "individual [who] has
been found guilty or not guilty of violating a condition of parole".

In item (3) of this section, the reference to a violation of "a condition of
parole" is added to state expressly that which was formerly only implied in
the reference to a "violation" and for consistency with items (1) and (2) of
this section.
