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

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that former Art. 41, § 4-1102(j),
which is revised in subsection (c) of this section, does not authorize
reimbursement of expenses for committee members. In the absence of
source law that authorizes reimbursement of expenses for members of
boards, commissions, and committees, etc., the usual practice of the
Committee is to add standard language that authorizes reimbursement as
provided under the Standard State Travel Regulations. See COMAR
23.02.01.01 through .12. However, such language has not been added to
this section because the Committee is uncertain as to whether the
Standard State Travel Regulations apply to citizens' advisory committees.
The Standard State Travel Regulations apply only to expenses incurred for
official business undertaken by "officials and employees of units of the
Executive Branch of State government". See COMAR 23.02.01.01. The
General Assembly may wish to clarify whether committee members are
entitled to reimbursement for expenses.
