REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 41, § 4-301(b)(4).
In the introductory language of paragraph (1) of this subsection, the word
"individuals" is substituted for the former references to "persons" because
only individuals can be placed on parole, probation, or mandatory
supervision or receive a suspended sentence. See § 1-101 of this article for
the definition of "person".
Also in the introductory language of paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
word "unit" is substituted for the former reference to "any governmental
organization or activity" for consistency throughout this article. See
General Revisor's Note to this article.
Also in the introductory language of paragraph (1) of this subsection, the
references to "investigation" and "custody" are added for consistency with
subsection (e)(1) of this section.
In item (l)(i) of this subsection, the reference to "mandatory supervision" is
added for consistency with § 7-502(b) of this article, which provides that
"[a]n individual on mandatory supervision is subject to all laws, rules,
regulations, and conditions that apply to parolees".
Also in item (1)(i) of this subsection, the reference to individuals "who have
been placed on parole" is substituted for the former reference to
individuals "declared to be parolees" for grammatical consistency with
item (1)(ii) of this subsection.
In item (1)(iii) of this subsection, the reference to individuals "who have
received a suspended sentence" is substituted for the former reference to
individuals who have been "placed on ... suspension of sentence" for clarity.
An individual is not "placed" on a suspended sentence. An individual
"receives" a suspended sentence.
