adopted regulations. See COMAR 12.05.01.01 through .14. The General
Assembly may wish to expressly authorize the Board, with the approval of
the Secretary, to adopt regulations.

Defined terms: "Board" § 10-301
"County" § 1-101

SUBTITLE 4. CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
10-401. "COMMITTEE" DEFINED.

IN THIS SUBTITLE, "COMMITTEE" MEANS A CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMITTEE
ESTABLISHED UNDER THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-1101(c).

In this section, the reference to "a citizens' advisory committee" is
substituted for the former reference to "the citizens' advisory committees"
for clarity and in light of Art. 1, § 8, which provides that "[t]he singular
always includes the plural, and vice versa, except where such construction
would be unreasonable".

REVISOR'S NOTE TO SECTION:

Former Art. 41, § 4-1101(a) is deleted as unnecessary because the revision of
this subtitle has only one definition.

10-402. ESTABLISHED.

THERE IS A CITIZENS' ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR THE STATE CORRECTIONAL
FACILITIES LOCATED IN OR PLANNED FOR LOCATION IN EACH OF THE FOLLOWING
AREAS:

(1) BALTIMORE CITY;

(2) CUMBERLAND;

(3) HAGERSTOWN;
(4) JESSUP; AND

(5) SOMERSET COUNTY.

REVISOR'S NOTE; This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, § 4-1102(a).

In the introductory language of this section, the reference to "each of the
following areas" is new language added to clarify that this section creates
one committee for each of the listed areas.

In item (1) of this section, the reference to Baltimore "City" is added to
state expressly that which was only implied in the former reference to
"Baltimore".
