(II) THAT INCAPACITATED THE INDIVIDUAL OR MATERIALLY
REDUCED THE INDIVIDUAL'S EARNING POWER IN THAT TYPE OF WORK.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the first sentence of former Art. 41, § 4-701(a).

In the introductory language of this section, the reference to a correctional
facility "in" the Division of Correction is substituted for the former
reference to a facility "under the supervision of" the Division for
consistency throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this
article.

In items (1) and (2)(i) of this section, the references to a stipulated sum "of
money" are added to state expressly that which was only implied in the
former references to a "stipulated sum".

In item (2)(i) of this section, the former reference to "one or more"
correctional facilities is deleted as unnecessary in light of Art. 1, § 8 of the
Code, which provides that the singular generally includes the plural.

In item (2)(ii) of this section, the reference to "that type of" work is
substituted for the former reference to "such" work for clarity.
