The former phrase "as used in the Interstate Agreement on Detainers" is
deleted for consistency with §§ 8-412 through 8-417 of this subtitle, which
are not a part of the Agreement itself but which are inextricably related to
the Agreement. See, e.g., § 8-416 of this subtitle (which uses the term
"appropriate court").

The reference to "a circuit court of a county or the District Court" is
substituted for the former reference to "any court in this State having
criminal jurisdiction which is part of the circuit court of a county, the
District Court or any other court than these specified courts" for clarity.
The circuit courts of the counties and the Maryland District Court are the
only "courts of this State" with criminal jurisdiction.

Defined term: "County" § 1-101

(D) CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION.

"CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION" MEANS, WITH REFERENCE TO THE
CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF THIS STATE, ANY STATE OR LOCAL,
CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 616K(b).

The former phrase "as used in the Interstate Agreement on Detainers" is
deleted for consistency with §§ 8-412 through 8-417 of this subtitle, which
are not a part of the Agreement itself but which are inextricably related to
the Agreement. See, e.g., §§ 8-413 and 8-414 of this subtitle (which use the
term "correctional institution").

The reference to any "State or local correctional facility" is substituted for
the former reference to any "correctional or reformatory institution under
the Division of Correction and the jail of any county or the Baltimore City
Detention Center" for consistency with terminology used throughout this
article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.

Defined terms: "Local correctional facility" § 1-101
