REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-401(c)(5), (6), and (7).

In subsection (a) of this section, the word "majority" is substituted for the
former reference to a "simple majority" because the plain meaning of the
word "majority" is a simple majority.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former requirement that a
majority of the members of the Commission constitutes a quorum for "the
transaction of any business, the performance of any duty, or the exercise of
any of its authority" is deleted as implicit in the term "quorum".

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that the meaning of subsection (a)
of this section, which establishes that a majority "of the members of the
Commission" is a quorum, is unclear. The Committee is uncertain as to
whether this means a majority of the authorized membership of the
Commission or a majority of the members then serving on the Commission.
The General Assembly may wish to clarify the meaning of this provision.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to times that are
determined by "a majority of [the Commission's] ... members" is deleted as
unnecessary in light of the establishment of a quorum in subsection (a) of
this section.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the word "compensation" is substituted
for the former reference to a "salary" for consistency throughout this
article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the former reference to "reasonable
expenses lawfully incurred in the performance of their official function" is
deleted in light of the reference to "Standard State Travel Regulations",
which specify the expenses that may be reimbursed.

Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to the "State" budget
is added to state expressly that which was only implied by the former
reference to the "budget".
