inmates in subsection (a) of this section may reflect outdated assumptions
about differences between male and female inmates and may be a violation
of the guarantees of equal protection that are embodied in the State and
federal constitutions. See also §§ 9-507(b) and 9-508(a) and (b) of this
subtitle.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to inmates "who have been
sentenced to terms of imprisonment" is substituted for the former
reference to inmates "undergoing punishment under, sentence of a court"
for clarity and for consistency with subsection (a) of this section.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the references to "public" roads are
added for consistency with subsection (a) of this section.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "municipal
corporations" is substituted for the former reference to "incorporated
municipality" for consistency with Md. Constitution, Art. XI-E.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to medical "care of" inmates
is substituted for the former reference to medical "attention of" inmates for
consistency with § 9-511(a) of this subtitle.

In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to "governing body" is
substituted for the former reference to "county commissioners" for
accuracy since the application of this subsection is not limited to
commission counties.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the reference to expenses "incurred" is
substituted for the former reference to expenses "he may be put to" for
clarity.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the reference to transporting "and"
guarding is substituted for the former reference to transporting "or"
guarding to clarify that reimbursement for transporting does not preclude
reimbursement for guarding and vice versa.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the reference to "transporting"
inmates is substituted for the former reference to "conveying" prisoners for
consistency within this subtitle. See, e.g., subsection (c) of this section.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the reference to "work site" is
substituted for the former references to "the road ... quarry, pit or yard"
and "the road or at the quarry, pit or yard", respectively, for brevity.

Also in subsection (d) of this section, the former reference to
"representatives" is deleted in light of the reference to "representative" and
Art. 1, § 8 of the Code, which provides that the singular generally includes
the plural.
