THE SHERIFF OF THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE CONVICTION OCCURRED SHALL
PLACE THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS CONVICTED AND A CERTIFIED COPY OF THE
DOCKET ENTRIES IN THE CASE IN THE CUSTODY OF THE SHERIFF OF THE COUNTY IN
WHICH THE CHARGING DOCUMENT WAS FILED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 638.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to an "individual" is
substituted for the former reference to a "person" for accuracy because only
human beings, and not the other entities included in the definition of the
term "person", can commit crimes that are punishable by imprisonment.
See § 1-101 of this article for the definition of "person".

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a "crime" is
substituted for the former reference to an "offense" for consistency
throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former reference to a crime
punishable by a "fine" is deleted for clarity because this subsection
concerns only those crimes that are punishable by imprisonment.
Correspondingly, the former parenthetical phrase "(if the sentence be
imprisonment)" is deleted as surplusage.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a term of
"imprisonment" is substituted for the former reference to a term of
"confinement" for consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to the county in which the
"charging document was filed" is substituted for the former reference to
the county in which the "indictment was found" for clarity. Today, charges
may be filed against an individual in an information, a statement of
charges, a citation, or an indictment. See Maryland Rule 4-201.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to a sheriff of the
"city" is deleted for accuracy because cities in this State, other than
Baltimore City, do not have sheriffs and Baltimore City is included in the
defined term "county". See § 1-101 of this article for the definition of
"county".
