The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (b) of this section
sets forth rules governing the disposition of an inmate's earnings: The
Committee further notes that there are significant inconsistencies
throughout this article in statutory provisions governing the disposition of
an inmate's earnings in different contexts. See, e.g., §§ 3-804, 3-807(e)(1),
9-504(d), 11-319(b), 11-407(b), 11-604, 11-703(d)(4), 11-704(d), 11-705(i),
11-706(b)(5), 11-708(b)(7), 11-711(g), 11-712(c)(5), 11-714(c)(4), 11-715(e),
11-716(g), 11-717(e), 11-718(e), 11-719(b), 11-722(b), 11-724(g), and
11-725(b) of this article and accompanying Revisor's Notes. The General
Assembly may wish to examine all of the relevant provisions and
determine whether they should be changed to reflect a more consistent
policy in this area.

In subsection (c) of this section, the former reference to "rules" and
regulations is deleted for consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in subsection (c) of this section, the former reference to regulations
that are "proper" is deleted as unnecessary in light of Title 10, Subtitle 1 of
the State Government Article, which sets forth comprehensive rules
governing the adoption of regulations.
