REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 698.

Throughout this section, the references to the "Division" of Correction are
substituted for the former references to the "Department" of Correction to
reflect Ch. 401, Acts of 1970, which created the Department of Public
Safety and Correctional Services and renamed the Department of
Correction to be the Division of Correction.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the Division of Correction
making a "determin[ation]" is substituted for the former reference to the
Division taking certain action when "it appears" for clarity.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a correctional facility
"in the Division" is substituted for the former reference to a correctional
facility "under its control" for consistency within this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.
