The Correctional Services Article Review Committee further notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that this section authorizes the
Division of Correction to adopt regulations that are applicable to each
inmate who is employed in public work "under this subtitle". This
language is technically broader than the language of former Art. 27, § 718,
which authorized the Division of Correction to adopt regulations that were
applicable to each inmate employed in public work under former Art. 27, §§
711A through 726, because former Art. 27, § 681L and former Art. 88B, § 26
are also revised in this subtitle. See 9-519 and 9-520 of this subtitle. No
substantive change is intended. However, in light of the questions
discussed above in this Revisor's Note regarding the meaning of this
section, the General Assembly may wish to examine whether the reference
to an inmate employed in public work "under this subtitle" reflects a
substantive change, i.e., whether it allows the Division of Correction to
award diminution credits to an inmate who engages in work under §§
9-519 and 9-520 of this subtitle in addition to those diminution credits
that may be awarded under §§ 3-704, 3-705, 3-707, 11-503, 11-504,
11-505, and 11-506 of this article.

SUBTITLE DO NOT APPLY TO:

(1) THE BALTIMORE CITY DETENTION CENTER;

(2) THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF BALTIMORE; OR

(3) THE PUBLIC ROADS OF BALTIMORE CITY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 719.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the "Baltimore City
Detention Center" is substituted for the former reference to the "Baltimore
City jail" to reflect the provisions of Ch. 59 of the Acts of 1991, which
created the Baltimore City Detention Center.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "the State, county
and city roads and streets" is deleted as included in the reference to the
